Feeling very accomplished after running 15 miles today. My Nike app decided to pause at 3.48 miles unbeknownst to me since I heard that British lady (app voice) jabbering the whole time anyway. I don't have the confirmation or the splits. I was assured it was a 15 mile route and regardless my butt ran for 2 hours and 22 minutes.
My original training plan was 5-6 miles 3 times a week plus a long run. I've decided to throw out the old plan and in these last 8 weeks follow Hal Higdon's plan. While the weekly mileage for each plan is not all that different. Hal's mid week runs are varied in distance, say 4, 7, 3 miles. This will work a little better for me and my schedule because I HATE THE TREADMILL!!!! I can plan to do a 3 mile run on a treadmill day but on a babysitter day do a slightly longer run. Plus, if I'm running 10 miles mid week perhaps I will trick myself into thinking that's not so far by race day. We'll see.
I'm getting really pumped and thinking we REALLY need to book a hotel room pronto...
