This week was the last speed week and last long run week! I did get pretty excited at the track and went faster than 10K pace…oops. It was worth it :)
For the last church of the long run, we went to preview the last miles of the LA Marathon course. It was thrilling to be surrounded by several other running clubs and runners. They were waving and cheering! I was so happy.
The time has come to talk goals for Sunday!
Goal: Have fun and just finish :)
I went into this training with this specific goal so that hasn’t changed. The marathon is tough as it is so for me it feels right to just finish with no time goal. Maybe one day I can run another marathon and beat this time. For now, I just want to have fun and cross the finish line!
This has been a wild ride and such a memorable experience. Marathon training was tough and uncomfortable at times but so magical. I gained so much confidence in my capabilities and inspiration to tackle tough challenges!
Let’s gooooo LA Marathon!!
