Thought for the day:

“My philosophy on running is, I don’t dwell on it, I do it.”

– Joan Benoit Samuelson

  • Current plan: Honolulu Marathon Training Plan
  • Today’s session: 18 mile long run @ 8:39 – 9:59 pace
  • Comments: I did 18.08 at 8:40 pace. At about mile 15, I spent ~5 looong minutes in line at a gas station buying water. I got behind an older gentleman making his weekly, $50 lottery purchase. Today was also my final longer “long run” before starting to taper for Honolulu…it will be weird to run no more than 13.1 miles on the next 3 Sundays…but there’s a good reason!

Weekly mileage: 11/5-11/12:

  • Running: 45.57
  • Bicycling: 20.28
  • Total: 65.85
