Running in Circles

The Irving Marathon is next Saturday!

 I have had a really solid raining cycle- good distances, good workouts, and injury free, but I'm feeling nervous and excited for the big day. I really like the progression of training and hope I can flip the "competitor" switch next week. 

Brice's run this morning was 10 miles by himself and his average pace was 7:30. He is getting faster every week and is always checking Strava, or the nike website. I love it and am so proud of him. 

Here's what my last two weeks of training looked like. I peaked at 23 miles three weeks ago and have started tapering off last week.
