Legs are still a little tired from Wednesday’s 14.5 mile tempo/marathon pace run (well, let’s clarify, only 10 of it was at marathon pace or below), but what the heck, let’s see what they can do!

The last week, I’ve been meaning to work backwards from G’ma’s marathon (June 18th) to see when I’d officially have to begin the Daniel’s marathon plan. Good thing I did… because turns out, I should be starting THIS WEEK. Oh, man. I still haven’t decided which of the Daniels’ marathon programs I’ll attempt: 1. stick…

I’ve spent the last part of the week just trying to recover. From what? I’m still not sure. After Wednesday’s threshold with Simone, my legs were shot. The “I’ve just run a marathon” kind of shot, where going down stairs is painful. WEIRD. It was just 25 minutes at a 6 minute pace! I’ve tried…
