First I am so proud to announce I have made it through the 20mile hurdle!!!
Since my last post I have mentally prepared myself for the race. I know I can do it at this point it is just a matter of perfecting the nutrtion, losing the last 5lbs and making sure I stay injury free.
I know now that I have come a long way in my training by reading this blog. In many ways I wish the race was next week so I can be done. But here is the remaining training schedule...
August 31 I am running the Disneyland 1/2 Marathon (time to beat is 2:19) that same day about 10hrs later I am doing the NIKE Human Race (10K). This may be the closest I get to my original plan of Merri's Triple Crown. (Disneyland and USC in one day and finishing with my actual marathon in Chicago).
September I will go out and do 1 or 2 more 20+ weekend runs.
October is taper off to Hawaii and then rest up and FINISH my marathon.
OH I forgot to mention one last detail...you may know me a "marathon merri" but my running partners know me as Egg McMerri Peebreak. :)
