Were are now ready to enter uncharted territory. Susie ran 4, 7 and 3 on Tue, Wed and Thur. I ran 4, 3 and 7 on Tue, Wed and today Friday. This leaves us with THE 15 miler to run on Sunday, 1.9 miles further than we've ever run before.
I circled this day on the training program the day I printed it, here we are.
Our plan is to do a 7 1/2 mile loop in the desert and end up back at the house where we can do a 2-3 minute pit stop. Then get back out in the desert for 7 1/2 more miles.
I've been running, stretching and sitting in the pool after any run over 6 miles. This morning I spent 20 minutes in a 59 degree pool and after the first couple of minutes it's not too bad. Reading Vince Flynn's 'Consent To Kill' while I suffer severe shrinkage. I do think it helps! Susie won't get near it.
Hit a new low with my weight today and that concerns me, 168.
Went to Costco for food and as boys do, when leaving I pushed the cart hard and jumped on to ride that puppy! Lower left abdomen let me know it didn't like it, great...

Susie didn't like your shrinkage or the ice bath? LOL.
15 is nothing. It's just 2 7.5 milers. You'll do great.
Thanks Pat! Getting very excited for the marathon, my goal is the same as yours. I don't care if it's 4:59:59 as long as the first number is a 4.
