Wow, time is flying by! I completed my week of 24 miles including my 9 mile run on the last Saturday in March. I was able to complete the run and keep a 15 minute mile pace. I am very comfortable at that pace. I know it's not fast but it's fast enough to complete the marathon in the 7 hours we are given. The first week of April was a down week and we only needed to complete 9 miles during the week and 5 this past Saturday. I have to admit I did not complete my training this week. We had snow most of the day on Saturday and Wesley was coughing through the night and I just didn't want to take her out in the cold. Unfortunately I did not have a sitter that day. I am back on track though and completed 5 miles yesterday. I will do 4 or 5 tonight. Then 3 on Thursday and 3 or 4 on Friday. It depends on how many I complete today. So that will be a 15 mile week plus our 8 mile run on Saturday! Total of 23 miles.
The trainer says I am doing well. Each week after we do our long runs I still feel like I can go farther. He said that is good. I'm not pushing myself too hard then. I am a little sore after some of my training but that is to be expected. After all, I did officially get diagnosed with arthritis in my left knee this past year. That's OK though because the doctors years ago thought it would be sooner. For those of you who don't know, I almost lost my leg when I was twelve in an accident.
Well, I will try to get better at updating my blog. I hope all is well with everyone. Please encourage all of your friends and family to visit my website and donate!! I am falling behind in my fundraising. Go to www.active.com/donate/tntntx/charlenecrockett
