I officially signed up for the Philadelphia Marathon last week. Training has been going well so I was feeling confident enough to sign up. Sure enough, this week was so busy that I missed my long run for the first time in all the 13 weeks of training! I'm hopeful week 14 will go better as I will attempt my longest run ever of 15 miles.
This week was my son's first soccer game of the season. Its always fun to see who is on his team. Very excited to see a few parents that I recognize from other activities, sometimes makes it easier to make friends with people. Anyway, one of these acquaintance mom's is training for NY marathon. She was at the game after running a whopping 20 miles! Now I'm starting to wonder if my training plan is enough. She still has another 20 mile long run before her marathon, plus she's doing 10 mile runs mid week. I have only 15, 18, 20 mile long runs before the taper begins and my mid week runs are at most 6 miles. Will it be enough?
I've decided to only worry about this after I see how I feel after the 15 this week. In my original training plan it was supposed to be 16 but now I feel like I should cut back a little since I missed my 10 mile long run last week. I'm running my long run with an experienced marathoner so hopefully she'll have some advice for me.
