Marathon Training Log - February 17th - Day 48 - 4 miles

Today begins week 13. 12 of 18 weeks and I have missed only 1 day of training (in week 3 i missed a 3 miler). Today's run was nothing out of the ordinary, 4 miles right at 8 m/m pace. It was about 45 degrees with a little wind. Wore my standard gear, and no pain at all. I could go much faster but this week will be a total of 36 miles, so I am not gonna push it and get injured this close to the peak mileage in week 15 (40 miles). I am really starting to get excited especially with my 20 miler in 2 weeks. That is the longest run of the program and is designed to really get you ready to mentally prepare for the race 3 weeks later. ( The final 3 weeks is a taper down period of rest).

Here is a cumulative summary of what I have done so far:

	Total	Average	Maximum	Minimum
Duration (hh:mm:ss)	39:42:35	0:49:38	2:17:25	0:23:24
Distance miles	282.66	5.89	16.77	3.00
Average Speed mph		7.14	7.94	5.68
Pace min/mi		8.44	10.56	7.56
Calories (kcal)	37826	788	2192	383

WOW! I will be well past the 300 mile mark after this week. It occurred to me today that I will be kind of lost when this is done, I will have to find something else to obsess over when this is finished.

And remember, I am trying to raise some money for families fighting cancer, at the same time remembering survivors, so help out if you can.
