Personal:

I am a 27 year old girl, from Illinois (via NYC), currently living in Austin, TX.  

I've been running for about 6 years, have completed 14 marathons and recently qualified for the Boston Marathon with a time of 3:34!  This was a 23 minute PR for me!

After years of running very high mileage at pretty slow paces, I decided to get serious and joined Gilbert's Gazelles training group. The BQ came 8 months later.

Hoping this blog will help add some further insight and organization to my running. :)

I wasn't very excited to do 18 miles so close to finishing a marathon, but it happened.

Back to friday evenings filled with anxiety and trying to find yet another carb to eat....

Austin Marathon course, lots of hills, and a nice downhill finish.  The last three weeks of hill work outs seem to be working because I felt a lot stronger on the hills today.

Didn't do any MGP miles today because of 3M Half next weekend, but after that I will bring 4-6 miles at MGP back into my long runs. Still sped up a bit on the last 4 miles.  

Splits: 9:09, 8:43, 8:46, 8:42, 8:51, 8:44, 9:01, 8:50, 8:57, 8:46, 8:46, 8:57, 8:44, 8:24, 8:10, 8:14, 8:15, 8:53 (easy cool down add on mile into the wind!) 

67 mile week in the books, and it all starts again tomorrow.....

Nice run, you must be doing something right, because my legs just feel tired. :-) Glad yours are getting stronger.
