I Have To Run How Far???

Well, tomorrow is make or break day in this marathon training. The 15 miler.

My hips are feeling good, and the last couple of runs have not left me too much worse for the wear. Granted, the longest run lately was only 7 miles, so this one is going to be a doozy.

But I feel confident. I'm under no illusion that I can run the entire thing. In fact, I have a strategy to break it up into 5 minute increments. Run 5, walk 1. And I'll do that for well over 3 hours. Not sure if that is easier in the long run, but mentally, it makes it more manageable for me.

I've selected a relatively flat run. There are 2 hills I know of, but nothing that should be too hard. And the rain is supposed to hold off at least for the morning. So there are no excuses.

I will report back tomorrow how it went. It's definitely in my head, but in a good way. I know that if I can do this, I can do this thing in June. Wish me luck!
