Looks good!
Isn't it going to be a thousand degrees on your long runs???? Good luck!
I can not wait to follow your progress. I am running my first marathon in November and I know that even though it seems so far away it will be here in no time.
Looks like a good plan. Good luck with the training!
Hmmm, just trying to figure out if you were going to the game and found a marathon or you were going to the marathon and found the game!
WOW, I must have completely missed that you were running this race. I am too!! I’m running it with a buddy of mine who lives in Chicago (and maybe staying with friends up there?) I like your training schedule. You’re really going to pack on the mileage in aug. How many days a week are you going to run?
I decided that I am going to run the 5K this weekend. See you there? We should get together!
me off something crazy.
Good luck on your training. You are very daring to be training for a full during the summer!
Wow, looks good Pat! :)
