Had a last minute extra-curricular obligation today, so only had time for a 23 minute run before I had to get kiddos. I was in such a rush to get out to the run that I forgot to strap on the HR monitor of the Garmin. Gotta work that into my routine, I guess. Downed some Jelly Belly sport beans as I was getting changed for the run, and then joy of joys, it was a decent 23 minutes, uneventful, my favorite kind of run.
2 miles
23:01 (11:30/mile)
Picked up Marathoning for Mortals, by "The Penguin," John Bingham this weekend (with a Borders coupon, woo hoo) and am devouring it. I will put together a modified Galloway/Mortals HM plan and see how it goes. The plans are similar except the longest run Galloway has on the books is a 15 miler, whereas Bingham's longest is a 10 miler. I would feel better running further than the distance of the HM at least once before the actual race, but I will see how the training progresses.
Today the doubts are subsiding a little. But I am supposed to run 8 miles, my longest to date, this weekend. Not sure how that will work, not sure if I will actually do 8 if I am not Gallowalking. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
EDITED TO ADD: Neese tagged me for an ABC about me post, I will get on that tout de suite, I promise!
