The Marathon Chronicles - week 4/5

Ok! The hubby and I are in week 5 of training for the marathon (26 weeks total for anyone who is curious about exactly how nuts we are). Last weekend we ran 6.4 miles. For me it was a great run. I felt good the whole way and sped up for the last mile. I can't say that I was running all that fast but I was happy that I was not the last person to come in for my group by far.

My husband claims he had a bad run. Blames the chicken fried steak from the night before (likely story!) Yet he finished the run about 3 minutes or so ahead of me. Have I mentioned that I hate him and his natural ability to run??

All I have to say is hill training in Houston just stinks. Only 3 more weeks of this to go! I think my coach has become evil since I last trained with him. I recall it all being difficult when I did this before but I don't remember feeling like I might die on the middle of a stupid hill. Couldn't be that I am way more out of shape and carrying about 10 extra pounds this year... NAW!!!

HAHAHA!!! I'll do my best to post non-training stuff occasionally. Unfortunately it's a bit all consuming.
