It doesn't seem possible but Susie and I are half way through our 18 week training program leading up to our first marathon on January 17, 2010. The good news is that we haven't been short even one mile yet! The bad news is that neither of us at this point think we can complete 26.2 miles.
We are following Hal Higdon's Novice program and in it he says to 'follow it faithfully' and for the most part we are. Due to work and life I am running the midweek longer run on Fridays instead of Wednesdays. Susie is having to run some of her miles on the dreadmill, she works much harder than me.
Our bodies are holding up well at this point and that in itself is all we can ask for. My weight is in the high 160s low 170s and seems stable.
This week three PRs should be set, for Susie a weekly distance and one run distance PRs and for me a one run distance PR. We are scheduled for 3, 7, 4 and 15. Neither of us have run more than 13.1, should be a great week!
