Tweaking my training......................

Yesterday was to be another five mile day. Because of scheduling and other projects I was not sure how I was going to fit this into my day. I ended up running three miles on my treadmill and then going for a six mile bike ride to make up the other two miles. I kept my feet pushing hard on the pedals when in motion and could feel a nice burning in my thighs by the time I reached home so I think I got a nice workout.

The funny thing is this morning I feel really refreshed and have a hankering to go for a really long run. This might be because I got more rest last night, or maybe because I was just reading some first marathon stories. More likely that not it is because today is only a three mile day and knowing I don't have to run very far has made me cocky with the possibilities of what I might be able to do.

To date the longest I have ran is around three hours. To complete the marathon will definitely take me longer than that, and I can't wait to see just what this ole body is capable of, knowing that as soon as I finish the marathon (okay, maybe as soon as I recover from having finished the marathon) I will be looking for my next challenge. After all, one can only brag so long about their past accomplishments, and we all know I live to brag!
