Sorry I haven't written in a while, but there hasn't been much to report on....which might be a good thing. I have been slowly increasing my mileage over the past couple weeks. Last week I was up to 27 miles and feeling good. I've been doing long runs of about 9-10 miles on the weekends and luckily the wind hasn't been as bad as my last post! Last weekend I did 9.5 miles in an average pace of 8:53 with the last 3.5 miles being 8:45, 8:39, 8:30, and 8:03 pace....not too bad considering I was dodging ice patched on the path. I felt good and my heart rate was nice and controlled.
This week I am hoping to be around 30 miles for the week, but we'll see how things go with the holidays getting closer. My plan is to continue increasing my miles over the next month or so and assuming that goes well then I'll start marathon training at the end of January. I am tentatively looking that the Vermont City Marathon on May 25th (Memorial Day weekend). I'll be sure to keep you updated as my miles continue building!
