Only about 2% of runners will finish a marathon in less than 180 minutes (3 hours) After four months of intense training, well at that time (20-25 miles/wk), I ran the Houston half-marathon on January 16th, 2005. It was so grueling, I swore that was it. I'll never do another half, let alone a full. Fortunately a running comrade pushed me to do a full marathon. Rededicated, I set a sub 4:00 hour goal for the full Houston marathon the following year. I trained harder than ever and crossed the finish in 3:59; I was hooked. I've now run 21 marathons and this site is my journal to join that exclusive club of those who finish a marathon in under 180 minutes (3 hours). |

Weekly Recap-4 Weeks To San Antonio
Sunday.
Off
Saturday.
Had 20 scheduled; went into it with inflammation in right leg, especially hip after doing 52 already this week, with 15 yesterday. Weather was awful also.
Felt fair first hour, but when I increased speed my right leg started to tighten, the heat was wearing on me too. After 8, I decided any more would do more harm than good. Shut it down and walked 4 more to burn calories.
Friday
Walked four during lunch. Six after work. Another 5 late night.
Thursday.
7.5 during lunch. 4 more at night, walked an extra.
Wednesday.
Quick 5 during lunch, good speed. Another quick 5 at night
Tuesday.
Swapped at work, up at 5:30 am. for a quick four on pavement, walked a couple more. 70 degrees with 90% humidity, couldn't breath.
Monday
Quick 5 during lunch, good speed. Another quick 5 at night.

Weekly Recap-5 Weeks to San Antonio
Sunday.
Off-swamped with work.
Saturday.
Solid 15 in less than optimal weather. Thought about going 20, but hip was tight. Decided the risk wasn't worth it.
Friday
Off, had bad case of allergies.
Thursday.
7 dung lunch.
Wednesday.
6 on mill during lunch. Another 5 at night.
Tuesday.
Thought I'd walk / jog 5 during lunch as I was a bit stiff. Once going, feet really light and I cruised 8. Four more at night with extra speed.
Monday
Wasn't planning to do 18, weather not that great. But nothing like knocking out your LR on Monday, and then low carb it the rest of the week. Added another walking mile to burn an extra calorie or two.

Weekly Recap-6 Weeks to San Antonio
Sunday.
Very energetic 5 in the a.m. With extra speed and incline. Could have easily popped 10+, but had to be somewhere. Came back at night and walked / jogged 7.
Saturday.
Ran 7 in the morning with extra speed, and mild strides. My VO max is terrible. Could be higher humidity and low carb diet.
Friday
Walked / jogged 10
Thursday.
A quick 5 doing lunch, with 5 more jog / walk. Could have run full ten, but let a untied shoe be an excuse to stop at five, and jog / walk the rest.
Another 6.5 at night, strong pace. Walked a couple more. Weather still cool, but wind out of south, fells a lot wetter.
Wednesday.
Wanted get in 12 or so, but carb depleted and sick. Walked / jogged 6 to burn calories.
At big bowl of rice to recarb for 10-15 later this week.
Tuesday.
Quick 3 during lunch, low and slow. 7 at night with extra speed and 2 miles of slight incline.
Monday
20 miler, held back on speed some. The first 10 piece of cake, last 10 harder due to dehydration.
