Here we go again!

It has been about a year and half since I ran my last marathon (St. Jude Marathon).  Lately, I have not been running like I want to stay healthy so I decided to choose another marathon to run this fall. I don't want to travel too far but there really isn't many chooses in TN or a surrounding state.  After researching a lot of races I decided to start training for the St. Louis marathon that is on Sunday, Oct 21.  I have 20 weeks to train.  I pulled together a training schedule and started training on June 5.

Brad and I run both tuesday and thursday of each week so I worked that into the training schedule.  Tuesday Brad and I ran 6 miles pretty fast.  I was happy to see that we ran the 6 miles in a pace of 8:48 per mile!  That is a good place to start for the training.  On Wednesay, June 6 I ran 4 miles.  The temperature and weather has been great.  Humitity has been high but the temperature has been lower.

On Thursday Brad and I were planning to run 4 miles but the course we ended up running was 5 miles. We ran this in about 8:45 pace.  Thanks Brad for pushing me to run faster.
