This last week, I had moved my 20 mile run to Monday, as the weekend had involved an out-of-town amusement park trip. This put me in an interesting position, as I had 20 miles on the very first day. With my 30 mile weeks that were on the schedule – it this put me in line for my very first 50 mile week.
Oct 7th – 20 Miles
Oct 9th – 5 Miles
Oct 8th – 9 Miles
Oct 13th – 16 Miles
Amazing! That absolutely blows my mind!
It is amazing to me, that at the beginning of this training, 10 miles was a loooooong run to me. Now? I did two days with over 15 miles in a week!
Marathon training definitely changes you.
I run, because I am a runner. Having realized that I have always "been a runner" - even when I went years with out running, I am learning how it has integrated itself in all aspects of my life. When I started running in highschool, my perspective on life changed. Funny that I didn't realize how much it had affected it until just recently.

This is awesome! Congrats. 🙂
Thank you! To be honest it was a freak of timing since I postponed my long run to mondat, but I was blown away when I realized it!
