Yes, I do realize that the Seattle Marathon is only 6 weeks away, so the fact that I'm only on week 1 of training is probably no good. But my foot injuries have prevented me from running at all for most of the past 11 months, so last week's total mileage of 48.5 is quite a triumph and I will take whatever I can get.
For my Sunday long run, I went to Alki and back - 16 miles. At the midpoint I was actually averaging 8:15/mi, which is way too speedy for me so I kicked it down a bit. Don't want another injury, have to be careful with old bones. I wonder if my cycling really is helping my running. That would motivate me to bike more, I guess. Still haven't made it to the pool though. I'm good at avoiding water.
Seattle Rock & Roll Marathon registration opened up today. For the first two days, there's a discounted price of $90. Full price is supposed to go up to $150, I think. Expensive habit. I think I'll hold off, not really sure I want to do the R&R next year. I should check when the Boston registration is....
