Today marks the end of the first three months of training. Only 37 days until the Flying Pig Marathon. Only 9 days until the Go St. Louis half marathon. I finished March with 130 miles of training which was short of the plan but I took a week vacation. I don't think the week off hurt me. I have felt strong on my runs. Some of the little things that were bothering me (sore feet, hamstrings) feel much better. April is a high mileage month but I am ready to attack it. It includes more mileage than I have every run in my life. I feel that every run is an accomplishment.
We are also 70% of the way through the training schedule. I also have 70% of my toenails in good condition. The other 30% have some purple bruising. No pain - just pretty colors.
I have been watching the weather. Cincinnati weather is pretty close to what we have in St. Louis. They may be degree or two cooler but overall pretty much the same. The Go St Louis weather should be nice - 50s early when the race starts and 70s later in the day. We should be done with the race before it gets too warm.
I changed up the schedule so today was a rest day.
