A week already?

Has it really been a week since I posted? Wow....that week went by quickly! I am still in the middle of which decision to go with. I mean, part of me says "what the hell are you thinking trying to qualify for Boston? As IF you have a chance?" And then I laugh at myself and really think if it's possible. I mean, I know I can't really say it's a waste to try and qualify. Because even if I don't I know I will train hard and will be in great shape going into the pregnancy. That's an added bonus, right?

I did the race calculator on runner's world and it says if I can run a 5K in 22 mins then I can run a marathon in 3:20 something. Hmm, somehow I think that is just a weee bit on the not so correct side. I don't think i could sustain that pace for 26 miles. I mean, I am not running the 5k all out (it's just my training runs), but it's still around 80 to 85 percent of my MHR. So what gives?

Also...been trying to put together a plan just to see how it'd look on the training calendar. But I don't know how to incorporate the Army 10-miler into the training plan. I really don't want to fork out the dough for a coach but I might have to. I need someone to help me a) answer the question about if I even think I have a shot in hell at qualifying.....and b) how to put a plan together to help me achieve this VERY LOFTY goal.

On non-running notes, I can't believe the weather! Holy crapola! I mean, we still had our DC/NOVA hot and humid weather this weekend and then voila...we're into lovely warm 70s and not humid weather. I am one happy lady with this weather change!!!!!!! I had a new stride in my run this morning. I was just lovin' it!

But can you believe it's the 1st of September?? Really?? Really? Summer is really over??????
