I realized today that the Lehigh Valley Half is only 3 weeks away, and I haven’t had a longer run than 10 miles is over 3 weeks … not too good. I did the OD 10-Miler on the 29th, then no long run last week and then I was out of town this weekend but managed to get 9 miles in today. Looks like I need to get serious if i’m going to finish the half …
Its been nice since i’ve scratched a spring marathon, not having to kill myself in the freezing cold to get in my long runs. I think if I focus on the Lehigh Valley Hospital marathon, i’ll manage to get my long runs in when the weather is better.
I got the chance to change things up both Friday and today as I was visiting family in Groton, Connecticut for the holiday. I was also able to change up my course today a little bit by taking advantage of the Lehigh Parkway which has a great number of trails and directions by which to run. Both the LV half and the marathon use this course, so its pretty popular with local runners and should give me more experience on the actual terrain i’ll be running in a few weeks.
I plan on running some shorter local races as the next few weeks go on, I just have to get them scheduled and get registered. Time is at a premium right now, but I have to find the time to do it … my times seem good, but the distances are what i’m worried about.
