In the interest of never again being in danger of finishing dead fucking last in a race (and come to find out, I DID finish dead fucking last for my age group...go me!!), I'll be giving myself 2 weeks recovery time after my 1/2 marathon (which at this rate will take me FOREVER to run), and then I'll be stepping up my training with this. It's called a Spring Training program, but the idea is to do it between times when you're training for a marathon, so I don't particularly give a damn that it will be almost summer when I start it. It's perfect. It will give me a chance to get a little bit of speedwork, hillwork and all that kind of fast-making stuff under my belt before August, when I start training for my December marathon. And it fits EXACTLY where I need it to. The last day of Spring Training is the day before I'm due to start marathon training.
And dammit, I'd better get faster.
Good luck this weekend!

WOW! You go girl! One marathon down and another to train for. You are inspiring the hell out of me to...uh...get up off my couch. Not to run a marathon but to you know...not be a slouch either. LOL
