The weeks just seem to be flying by and tomorrow begins Week 10 of my 16-week marathon training program for the Philadelphia Marathon. Last week I had to resort to a mix of indoor and outdoor running during the weekdays because of all the rain we've been experiencing. Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to get a 15-mile run along the Delaware canal and was able to meet a couple other runners who are training for the Philadelphia Marathon. They told me about an 18 mile race in Long Beach Island (LBI), New Jersey next Sunday so that fits perfectly into my plan. So, rather than running the 18 miles by myself, I'll be with a bunch of other runners in LBI – perfect!
My 15-mile long run this past week was the longest distance I've run so far. I felt pretty darn good up until the last mile. It was cooler and I wasn't paying as much attention to keeping hydrated so I think that was my mistake. Another lesson learned.
Good luck to everyone who is training and keep up with great work…..
Happy Running!
John
