T-minus 75 days...

So I am just about halfway through marathon training. Last weekend I ran a whopping 14 miles. It really wasn't too bad, and I think that if this heat and humidity would let up, it would be even easier. I am running an easy 10 this weekend, and have a half marathon scheduled next weekend. My Monday tempo runs are up to 7 miles now, and my tempo pace is supposed to be a 10:15 or better. I've really, really struggled with this, as it is a hilly 7 mile course where I live and the heat has been brutal. Yesterday I ran it at a 10:01 pace, so I am definitely improving. I'm going to run a marathon in less that 75 days. No, really. I am!
