Last week was my first official week of marathon training. In order to build up to being able to do 26 miles I have to increase my long run mileage by 1 mile or 10% (which ever is more) every week. When I do the math this means I may not be able to make it for the Long Beach. If I do it means I'll have to cheat and skip ahead which is not really a good idea. Cheating just means opening yourself up for injury. If I'm not ready I won't force it. There are other marathons. I wanted to do that one again because it is obviously most convenient. Also I feel like it beat me last time so I'm itching for some payback. So last week was a 6 mile long run, today was a 7 miler. This is the farthest I have run in quite a while. Probably over a year. There sure are a lot of hills in Signal Hill and Long Beach. I'm sure I am running up and down more hills here than I was in Chino Hills.
I have an interesting situation happening at work right now. My supervisor is going to be leaving to go on vacation about a week before we are to deliver the project. That means it is completely on me to get it done. This is also a project that I came onto late so I am not totally familiar with it. This could prove to be a challenge. The main thing I am looking forward to is a vacation that I scheduled starting July 30. I really need it.
