14 Weeks Out!

Wow - we have only 14 weeks to go until Vegas (15 for White Rock)! That's crazy, scary, exciting. I got a preview of the marathon this weekend as I was in Las Vegas for fun. I ran 8 miles - from the Hard Rock Hotel to the strip (1 mile) then down to Mandalay Bay where the marathon will start, and up to Circus Circus and back. The coolest thing was that I passed people still out from Friday night's partying. It felt pretty cool and healthy to be passing them on the strip in my comfy running shoes - while many of the ladies carried theirs and went barefoot (eww!).

The schedule had us running 12 miles on Sunday - as I said, I only ran 8 (but walked another 2 miles later that day). This is because of my foot issues. In fact, I'm not running this week to give my foot a chance to heal. Today, I missed our 8 mile weekday run. I liked sleeping in, but I'm worried I'll get behind. The good news is that the foot is feeling a lot better. I'm surprised - happily so. I plan on running this weekend though - another 16 miler. Let's hope I'm up for it.
