It has been a while since I have updated the blog. Work, IT Band injury, and time got in the way. We ran Derry's Boston Prep 16-miler and it was wonderful!!!! I highly recommend that race. Then we continued and did an 18 mile run and that is the one that put me over the edge. I ended up with an IT Band injury. Since then we ran Half at the Hamptons 1/2 Marathon, I was only able to make it to mile 8 before my leg gave out on me. Then I walked the Great Bay 1/2 Marathon. Kurt, on the other hand, has stayed (knock on wood) injury free.
Fast forward to July. We are now training for the Clarence De Mar Marathon on September 27th. We are in week 5 of our training and are following the Hal Higdon marathon training schedules. Kurt is doing the advanced and I am doing the intermediate II. Our training runs have been very hilly lately so I have to keep reminding myself "I LOVE HILLS," they make us stronger and better.
I am also really working on my form. My breathing is still very labored so I have been trying to move towards Chi Running. I am going to have get slower before I can get better so that I can go faster. We will see.
