I realized today that my fall marathon is closer than I thought. I am slightly behind in my training. Nothing to really worry about, but I need to up the mileage more than the recommended ten percent increase without causing any sort of injury, and that’s always hard.

My regular nightly runs have been 3.5 to 4 miles, but tonight, I upped that to 5.5 tonight and will hopefully do the same again either tomorrow or Friday.

Next week is a huge week for me; I will be on vacation and hope to put in some serious, serious training. Something has changed in me, because I am really looking forward to it.
