Goal Setting
I hadn’t pinned down a definite goal for the marathon until this week. When I first started training after Fargo, I think I told myself I was going for a 2:55 or 2:56. The dilemma was: I’ve been racing better than I ever have. I’ve surprised myself in 2 5ks, running in the 17:40s, and…

In terms of training, Chris is now allowing me to do a little more, both in terms of mileage and intensity. I had my first “harder” workout Thursday, which was ~9 miles, taking the hills hard, downhills…
