Only 7 more weeks until my 1st Marathon.....
This morning, my running buddies and I did 13.5 miles; next Saturday we'll do 21.

I've gotten my mileage up to between 50 and 60 miles a week. I've ran several half-marathons, but this will be my 1st 26.2.

My body aches all the time, and I'm living on Tylenol, but I'm determined to do this.

4. This will be our 2nd 21 mile run.....
....We'll do between 18 and 21 one week, then drop back to 13 to 14 the next week. All of our long runs have been over 13 miles.
