For today - I have marathon training statistics update for you. Below is a picture of me, holding up the number of miles I ran today! We are now into the official training schedule. I run 4 days per week with one of those being a long run. Today was our long run. It was beautiful fall out and COLD! But I made it. Pictures of fall to come soon as well.
First to answer Aunt Ed's question from a while ago - my new pair of shoes will last for all of training and the marathon. So that's a good thing. :)
So in addition to pre-marathon training to where I am now - I have run/walked a total of 113.5 miles!
Along the way I did have some more aches and pains. One day my IT band syndrome was so bad, I couldn't run. It hurt too much. I've been working on stretching more and did have one of the physical therapists at the hospital do some taping which helped some. Today my legs got tired during the last 1/2 mile, but It felt good and I knew thats when change happens. My muscles are learning to put up with more endurance and pressure. Right after the run my knees ached, but they are feeling fine now.
