42 Days till Napa Marathon
Well, here I sit.. 4:30 AM, on Martin Luther King Day, with all my running gear on, wolfing down a big bowl of oatmeal.... In just a few minutes, I will head out to Butte College, where I will park, and head out on a 24 mile training run. This will be my second to last long run before the race, I have one more week after next (on the order of 26 miles). So far, my training for this second in my life marathon has gone pretty well. I gotten all the major scheduled runs in, and even been able to keep up on the planned daily runs.
I've also been able to drop my per mile times in the long hill runs quite a bit - which I hope will bode well for a finish much closer to 4 hours than my previous painfull 4 hours and 39 minutes back in 2005. In fact, I even have a new montra that I will be using on race day.....
No, this isn't a real Church sign - it is a nifty little internet program - but it give me a great way to show off my new motto - 26.2 miles in 4.0 hours, or take an ambulance ride. I would love to have this imprinted on my race day jersey....
