Been so bad this last month about blogging my miles but been keeping my miles anywhere from 45-65 miles. This last week was NOT what I would have liked to be at 4 weeks from the marathon but thats okay. Went up to Tulsa today to help out Bailey run the Route 66 marathon. She did awesome and cut a TON off her time and finished in 3:35. It was just a TAD too cold for my liking. But overall it was a great workout and last long run before I start tapering just a little. If anything I know I'm atleast in better shape than I was for my last marathon. Despite it being too cold the pace felt very comfortable. So i'm hoping with a flatter course and maybe just a tiny bit warmer weather I can get a good time in. 

Want to try and still hit some good milage this week, maybe somewhere in the 70-80 range and then 2 weeks out drop down to 50-60, and then my last week hit about 30? Really excited to just race and see what I can do. After my race I'm really looking forward to regrouping and hitting some really high milage but also work  a lot on my speed. 

Going to just take it easy tomorrow and do about 5 miles or break up a double to get more milage and then hit a good quick workout on Tuesday.

Went to run and got about a half mile in till my foot started hurting. Decided to not risk it and take the day off.

Got 7 in before thanksgiving dinner. Did a warm up mile and then picked it up and it ended up being a tempo. Finished the last few miles around 6:50 pace and it felt pretty good.

Got a nice afternoon run in around Hefner. Stomach didn't feel too good, probably from all the food the day before but still averaged 7:35 pace.

Got 17 in the afternoon. The weather felt pretty nice, a little overcast and around 55. Felt good to just take the first 8 easy and then wanted to keep it around 7:45 pace and finish at race pace. Felt good for the most part. I think mile 16 was my slowest and I finished in 7:27 pace which was the plan. Want to get about 55-60 this week and then drop it down for the week of the race. Need to get a couple shorter speed work outs in.
