The OBX marathon is on November 8, 2009. That’s 25 weeks away. That’s also a long way to go for someone who has not put 25 weeks of running together in over a year.
I just completed my first 40 mile week in over three months, finishing with a 6.9 mile run with the jogging stroller in in 1:07:53 (9:50/mile). It was 60′F outside, sunny, and I was running uphill into a headwind for at least a half-mile of the run.
This also marks day 50 of my running streak. From here on, I will need to increase carefully and consistently to meet my ultimate goal. My current PR for a marathon is 3:39. My second best time is 4:30.

- Streak day 20! #twit2fit Was a little dehydrated and had allergy issues this morning. Oh, and scratchy technical shirt, 4.3 miles, an extra 10 pounds, and no band-aids is a bad mix.

- No excuses, legs! Quick two miler #twit2fit Sunny, slightly breezy, and 71° F. Seems like a horrible crime to do only 2 miles. If not for the 5k tomorrow morning, I could have went out for at least 10. I went out and tested my legs in my Mizuno Wave Rider 11s. I've been holding back the......
- Progressive Long Run (16 miles) while watching the game #twit2fit #running One of the things that's great about football season is that you can easily do a long run on the treadmill while watching the game. I did mine today at home on my Sole F80 at a 1% incline (watching the UofL-UK game). I've been doing my long runs at......
- At a medium pace... 5.7 miles in 47:32 (8:22 pace) #twit2fit #running After weeks and weeks of building mileage and mostly running slowly, I'm ready to start testing the waters a little bit on what my legs actually have in them. If my mileage stays steady, it looks like my legs currently have roughly a comfortable 8:30 pace in them. After a......
