Hurtn’
Well the timing seems right for another entry. It’s been a month since Ironman and a week until the Victoria Marathon. True to form, my training has been lacking, averaging 2 to 3 hour per week. My 2-hour run on Monday went very well. My goal was to keep my average HR in the 120 to 125 range. I did this and averaged 5.9 MPH, which I thought was surprisingly fast. Based on Coach Grant’s Marathon Chart, this should equate to an approx 4:30 marathon. I sure hope that he’s right!
How time flies; we’re having the first organizing meeting for next year’s Y Tri group tonight. It is going to suck having to start pool swimming again!
Oct 10, 2008: Well, here’s the latest!! I went for a long run last Sunday. I felt great for the first 12 or so miles and blew up after that. I’m now the proud(?) owner of two sore knees, very tight hamstring string, lower bank pain and two sore glutes; And that’s after a week of rest! Sunday morning will be interesting. I expect to hurt all the way and my anticipated time of 4:??, Well?
Talk to you after the Marathon;
Bill
