Of the 3 marathon training seasons I’ve had, this year’s 20 miler was the best one, by nearl half an hour! I did my 20 mile run yesterday morning in 3:02:58, about 26 minutes faster than last year, and at a 9:09 pace! I’m pretty excited for the race, but, anything can happen that day!!!
On Halloween, Oct. 31, we’ll be running the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington D.C. It looks like they are going to have some pretty sophisticated information available on runners.
They have Map Tracking, Runner Tracking, Timing, and Live Results.
For the first time ever, I have pain in one of my joints. For some silly reason, my left hip hurts. It usually only hurts when I get up from having been sitting for a while. Once I’m up and walking or running, no problem. So, last night, I started taking flax seed oil. This is supposed to help keep your joints lubricated. If that doesn’t work, I guess I’ll have to take jointritis!!
I heard this on the news yesterday and forgot to blog it. Good thing I periodically look in the Oddly Enough section of Yahoo!’s news.
Be sure to choose Detroit 05 2003. I am bib 900 and Michelle is bib 901. It’s a shame, she always gets gipped on the finish line photos, every single time, and she’s done 3 marathons! I feel bad for her. I wish she had a nice finish line photo to hang on the wall. We’ll just settle for that really nice shot of the two of us, standing proud with our medals, happy that we’re done with our 2nd marathon together!
