Great that you have somewhere to go like that! I am still pretty sore from my Monday session at the gym. We haven't been working on legs much since my marathon but hit them an wow are they sore! I was getting to where the would only bother me a little but it's like I'm starting over again! Keep up the good work!

I have discovered that with the proper jacket, running in the cold can be quite enjoyable! <br /><br />We are covered in snow in Central PA, Camp Hill got 32 or something crazy inches of snow. We are back at work today, but some schools are still closed! I'm hoping for rain, so we can go back to running long distances outside this weekend !Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110855725544210793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298679531196459259.post-10883915184298793662016-01-26T07:15:01.461-08:002016-01-26T07:15:01.461-08:00Running in the cold sounds so hard!!

At least you have something to look at below. 1/6 of a date doesn't sound like much fuel. They are probably bigger than I'm picturing? It is fantastic you are feeling better and running faster in the second half of your long run! It means you are pacing correctly! You are going to have a great marathon.

If I win the lottery, I'm going to build a full-sized indoor track with a clear dome roof so we can run under the sky but still be protected in bad weather. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789773999034928321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298679531196459259.post-1749519423392723922016-01-25T12:44:15.063-08:002016-01-25T12:44:15.063-08:00Nice week!
