Thank you so much for your financial donations to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation in my name and your continued support in my marathon training.
Things are going great! On Saturday, 8/28/10, I completed a 20 mile long distance training run in Central Park New York sponsored by the New York Road Runners. The weather was perfect; the day was gorgeous. This was my first time running in Central Park and it was an amazing experience. I ran strong the whole distance even as fatigue set in around mile 18. All the muscles in my legs were screaming but how many times will I be at this point again? Best to make the most of it and deal w/ the human suffering later. I was very sore after the race. My muscles feel bruised more than stiff. It is still hard to walk. The race was not timed. I finished in between the 8:00 and 8:30 pace setters. I could feel the wall approaching at mile 20. Tom Holland says the best way to prepare for the wall is to keep hydrated and keep taking in carbohydrates. The rest is determination and will power.
I would love to get some advice from the experienced marathoners out there! Mom, Hop, Randi, Justine?
