I skipped my 7 miler this AM. Alarm went off at 5 and I reset it for 615. Have a 13.1 trial scheduled for Sunday morning. Stashing a couple of Gatorades along the course. Last week did 12, which was a personal record so we’ll see how it goes. Can’t wait for the race Labor Day weekend (Virginia Beach Rock n Roll half marathon) so I can get back to the 3 and 5 mile routes. On a positive note I have gone friends m 190 pounds in November to 158 without changing my eating habits at all. Down to wearing 32 inch pants for the first time since I was 15. I am 32 now. I have been running for 4 years, but this is the first time I’ve ramped up the milage like this.
Good luck to you on your 13.1. I gave those up several years ago. I'm still maintaining my 10K's. Been doing it for 18 years, but it's getting old...and so am I.
Regards.
