Returning To Marathon Training After A Two Week Hiatus

[1369]

The following can be said about today's 15 mile run:

I didn't die
If I am ever stuck 15 miles from somewhere, I can get there
Running on pavement for that long makes my feet hurt
If I don't get back into the weekly running routine, the full marathon is going to be an ugly war of attrition
I can say I've completed a half marathon
Gu makes my body think it is starving for water
My time today is irrevelant, I finished the fucking thing

That is all, carry on.

Where's my carne guisada taco and chocolate milk?????

Wait...what?

How come I have to highlight my list to see it?

*Fixed, but the list function seems to hide the text. Even if you change the color*

how many times a week do you run 15 miles?

how many times a week do you run 15 miles?

The program I am on has runs during the week of 30-45 minutes (3-5 miles for me) and on Saturday's we have a group run. The group runs have been steadily getting longer, but since we're at the halfway point of the training, we'll alternate long/not so long runs.

For example, next week is 8 miles and then the following Saturday will be 17 miles.

Very cool. I'm definitely not a marathon runner, but I am very proud when I complete my 2 milles! :lol

I've been rehabbing since last October after tearing a meniscus doing the Army Ten-Miler. Trying to start back on the track in the next week or so in hopes of being ready for this years' Ten-Miler. What was that definition of insanity?

What was that definition of insanity?

Something about doing the some thing over and over hoping for a different result?

Damn... I don't even like driving 15 miles.
