With three weeks to go before the Shamrock Marathon, I probably should have been out running a 20 miler. Well, what with a ton of work from last week to catch up on, and a general don’t-have-much-energy feeling, I decided to just hop on the treadmill instead. I lasted 90 minutes (just long enough to watch the movie Four Minutes again) and only covered about 10 miles – although to be honest, I don’t trust the accuracy of our treadmill. I guess 90 minutes is better than nothing, but I really need to get out next weekend for one final confidence-boosting long run before the marathon.
I also need to put on a few pounds and regain some lost strength from last week’s sickness. The following chart covering the last three months tells the story quite well:
