04/12/07 - 04/20/07 Finally, Great Running Weather!

Training has been going well! This past week has seen the arrival of spring (hopefully for good this time) and some great runs.

4/12 - 8 miles
4/14 - 18 miles with 15 at the pace I hope to run the marathon at. Whew, this was a tough workout, but I was able to hold the pace fairly easily (I did need a nap later, though .....)
4/15- Easy 5 mile run on the park trails
4/17 - 11 miles
4/18 - Track workout (5) 800 meter repeats, 8 miles total
4/19 - Best workout of the week with my TNT training partner who is back doing great with her training after a serious health problem that didn't keep her down for long. 5 miles enjoying catching up on things :)
4/20 - 17 miles around the Shaker Lakes. Part of it enjoying the company of my sister. What a beautiful day.

Only one more week of hard training to go, including the last 20 miler, then the training will taper back to rest up for the big day!

Thanks to everyone for your support, encouraging me in my training, listening to me complain about the weather, and helping to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I have exceeded my fundraising goal thanks to your help!
