I’ve put another week behind me. It’s getting hard to believe that I’m less than a few months from marathon day on April 30th. Scared still but getting very anxious and confident as the training sessions go by.

Just missed a pic with a deer. Gotta love the Parklands at Floyd’s Fork Park!

This weeks training went excellent! I’m moving fast and setting records along the way. I ran my fastest 7 mile run this week. Beat my time by over a minute. I consider this an awesome accomplishment because it was done outside of racing. It didn’t stop there. My long run of the week was a 12 miler. I attacked that run and ran faster than I probably should have. I felt great though. I guess sometimes you have to run based on perceived effort. All in all, I still feel very strong. And… yes, I’m injury free!

There’s more snow in the forecast and that has me a little down going into week 5. Hopefully, it won’t be so bad. I don’t want to end up on the treadmill for my long run.
