Running 3 hours, 15 miles in the rain this morning.....felt AWESOME!!! my best long run yet. I felt great the entire time, improved my long run pace. My great friend Denise joined me for the last 8 miles. We even had a little foot race at the end. I needed this to boost my confidence. I guess I should stop think evil things about my running coach....I just need to make sure I drink Tons of water today.

It was perfect running weather, a little windy but I will take it over 100 degree weather. I was able to keep the pace the entire time! It felt so good to run a little faster. Marathon training is a different beast. I was getting worried because I was ju...Wednesday, September 14th 2011
Scale making progress after my weekend get away...back to 219. Hopefully the trend will continue! My motivation is much better now.Yesterday ran 6 miles and have to run 6 miles today at marathon race pace. Was going to do it this morning but had storms this morning.

Over all things are pretty good. My running coach was happy with my half marathon time, since I did not taper, he sai...
