Sunday was a beautiful day in Mojave. I got a 12.2 mile run in at just under two hours. The good news is that this is close to the half way mark of the marathon distance. The bad news is that my pace was close to a minute per mile slower than on my seven and nine mile runs. I am loosely following Hal Higdon's marathon training schedule but am adjusting it to focus on increasing pace. The other downside of Sunday's run was the amount of water I went though. I drank 1.5 liters of water during the course of the run but I still managed to come back five pounds lighter than when I started. Guess I am gonna need a bigger Camelback.
In other news I got a new pair of running shoes last night and am excited to try them out. They are actually North Face trail shoes. The desert seems to eat shoes for lunch, so this time around I'm trying a little tougher shoe.
Also, I am still on the fund raising warpath. Every little bit helps. You can donate here:
