Training for Little Rock Marathon Update

Late Post, but here you go......

Last Sunday I ran 16 miles by myself!  It was hard after the 13th mile,  but I got it done.  Marathon training is so time consuming, but I find that if I start early (4 to 6am and even sometimes at 230am) that I can get it done and out the way so I can move on with my day.  Weekends are very valuable to me because Monday through Friday I am busy working!

I tried out the Hoka One One shoes, they felt really good BUT the next day my achilles was sore.   I also got a pair of Asics Kayano 20's which I will be testing out for my next run this weekend.   I am 8 weeks out from Little Rock.  I have 4 halfs, 1 10k and 1 5k prior to the marathon.  After the marathon, I have another one 2 weeks later!  So training is very imperative as I can't risk injury. 

Will keep you all updated on my training.  This last run I stuck with the Jeff Galloway method of doing 1:1 with negative splits.  Finiah around 3:30, but time is NOT a factor for these marathons.  I just want to finish and finish strong.
