We'll see if I manage to hit 45 again this week ;) I have a feeling it's not gonna be an ongoing thing, even though I'd like it to be.<br /><br />Alison--as usual, thanks for understanding :)VegetariRunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743921061707280316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385395620369609573.post-27998910917679123712011-03-20T07:08:44.206-04:002011-03-20T07:08:44.206-04:00I agree with weeona -- running high mileage while ...I agree with weeona -- running high mileage while dealing with end of term craziness is practically superhuman! Don't feel bad about the 14. Sometimes life just means you're not going to get the perfect marathon training schedule in. If you'd have tried to run through that week you've have knackered yourself mentally and physically, neither of which are conducive to good training ;-)<br /><br />And I LOVE running in hardcore rain. It really does make you feel badass! For me it's about being out in the elements (I love walking in the wind and snow and stuff, for similar reasons), but I also think it helps you keep cool, and able to maintain a good pace.<br /><br />Finally:<br />"I've been trying to remind myself that life is full of choices and everything I do is a choice, not an obligation. When I see things that way everything is a lot less stressful."<br /><br />You're so right about that.

This time...I feel like SUCH a slug compared to you.<br />This time I'm doing Hal's Novice 2 again and peaking at 35 miles. <br /><br />Since my second marathon is only about 17 weeks out from the first one of the season, I'm going to use the fact that my mileage base will already be high and up to the Intermediate 1 Higdon plan, peaking at 44 and getting an an addition 20 miler in the plan. :) Then I will feel less like a lazy lazy fat ass. I don't know how you teach, do all the school work AND run 45 miles a week!!! <br /><br />Wonderwoman. <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385395620369609573.post-20311903745518720832011-03-18T17:51:40.289-04:002011-03-18T17:51:40.289-04:00In 2000 I ran the LA Marathon.

My husband and a friend were smart and turned around at mile 5 and ran back. Another friend and I kept on running. And we kept on our plastic garbage bags for the whole race. I wouldn't have made it without my friend. I had hypothermia at the end (fortunately resolved with a hot shower). One of my proudest (or stupidest) finishes, we ran 3:33!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808535651561822721noreply@blogger.com
