This blog is about my running experience. I am not a physician, nutritionist or personal trainer. I am a runner. I do not know it all. I am only writing from my own experiences. I finished my first marathon on June 3, 2012. Who knows where my feet will take me next!

M4T W9

And now things get real!  My first 20 miler is planned this week...

This is week nine of training. You will have the option of running 18-20 miles on your long run. The fitness you've gained over the last 8 weeks may just surprise you with how strong you are. Plan an 18 mile run with a 2 mile option toward the end. If 18 miles has you a bit tired or if it's a hot humid day that has you feeling dehydrated, stop there. If on the other hand, you are feeling good, carry on to 20.
