This was a recovery run. Thanks to Playhouse Disney for providing the baby-sitting for the preschoolers while I ran 3 miles in 31:46 just to keep the legs moving. I was SO SORE from the weight lifting that I found myself trying to keep my upper body as still as possible while I ran. Sure I looked funny.
Saturday meant time for another long run: 16 miles. And it was freezing outside again. After the frozen Fuel Belt and eyelashes run of a couple of weeks ago, I determined that I couldn't do that again. I'm not a polar bear people!
So I instead performed the mentally draining act of running for 2:49:36 on a treadmill. Yes, THE TREADMILL for nearly THREE HOURS! I watched a movie and then listened to my Ipod. It was pretty boring, but I pulled through because I am so afraid of not being ready for May 1st. My intense fear of being poorly trained is very motivating. Praying for warmer temps by next Saturday.
Happy running!

Keep up the training! From what I read you're doing AMAZING! I do not think I could do what you are doing. I'm praying that you'll make it through, which I know you will. You are SUPERMOM! I was talking to my husband and he says from past experience of cross country that as soon as you get up to a 22 mile run, you will be ready for that marathon. But he also said keep in mind that he's not doing what you are doing and he admires you as well!!!
