Got the 18-mile run in today, 11th week of training for the Every Woman’s Marathon. Got her done… but it was tough.
Around the half-marathon mark, runner’s lean hit me hard. I felt a strong pull to the left and wrestled with it all the way to mile 18. It wasn’t pretty, but I finished. That makes six half-marathons in the past six weeks!
Next week drops back to 14 miles, then comes the big 20-miler, another 14, a ten, and finally race day, week 16 — 26.2 miles. Five more half-marathons to go (plus the extra miles), and I’m determined to keep going.
One step, one mile, one week at a time — onward to the finish line.
