Almost from day 1 of my "marathon training schedule" I have been behind. My schdule calls for me running three runs a week, two mid week medium distance and one long weekender. So far I have been doing pretty poorly at keeping up.
I've been able lately to get in some midweek 6, 7, or 8-milers but long weekend runs just aren't happening. My goals for the Chicago Marathon are getting reevaluated. I've adjusted downward to a "strong finish", hopefully averaging a 10 minute pace.
In other news, a week after the Peachtree Roadrace I did the Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation 5K , a fun charity run hosted out of Atlanta Station. I was impressed at the attendance here (several hundred runners). The course was the Atlantic Station "back loop" 5K looping westward around Hemphill and 17th streets rather than Midtown. All in all a good race with a near PR time.
Goals for August:
1. Run more.
2. Blog more.
