7 miles done! It was 39* when I started and 46* when I finished. Full sun and no breeze! I was in shorts and long sleeve shirt and it was perfect! The cooler temps helped me to run fast, I think! I can usually only hold this average pace up until 5 miles or so!
Our lives since we started Dopey Challenge training 24 weeks ago!! 4 weeks from today we will have already completed a 5k, 10k and half marathon! 4 weeks from tomorrow we will complete the full marathon!!
@eeyorepoohfan this just cracks me up!! What an accomplishment! And what a commitment, too. Hahahaha!!!
Run strong girl!
@missingWDW It cracked me up so much!!
I can’t believe we’ve finished up 24 weeks of training! This has been a long haul for sure! But my 7 miler this morning was awesome!!!! Thank you!I took Winnie for a run this morning. It was a frustrating and annoying run. Winnie was all over the place and kept getting stickers in her paws. I kept getting endless texts, messages and alerts too! I just couldn’t focus. I was grumbly. We ran by near our house and did a long hill down then back up. About a 200 foot elevation change. I always pace slower with Winnie girl since she’s not as fast as she used to be. But I was like, yikes girl! ????
@eeyorepoohfan she’s a peach! Look at that face
The holiday parties need to stop. Felt like crap this morning but went out anyway. Hit 3 and gave up. I need sleep, water, and to feed my body something other than beer and nacho dip. Just sayin.
3 miles

Me too! Cutting out the crap for the 4 weeks until my first race!
@eeyorepoohfan That’s hysterical!
okay, I need to quit whining about my 12 week program when you’re 24 weeks in to marathon training! 
it feels like such a long time! It wouldn’t be so bad for me if I didn’t have to get up so early in the dark and cold 
aww look at that precious face! I know what you mean, sometimes Leia slows me down too. @missingWDW I hear ya! I ate so much pumpkin roll last week here at work, and sugar cookies
I need to stick to good eating but I keep thinking “I ran this morning, what’s one cookie” ay yi yi. But you still had a really great pace!@starbee OMG awesome job pushing yourself to keep running for all 3 sets!!! It sucks when you’re going through it, but feels so good when it’s over and you know you accomplished your goal!
it!Amendment to my previous post. It wasn’t a food hangover after all. I’m getting sick.
I feel lousy. And I’m NOT happy about it.

It can be so challenging this time of year!!! I would normally have been indulging a whole lot more in treats and such by now. But the reality is that we just can’t afford to feel like crap during our training. I will make us some goodies soon. But will keep it in check. I will go full on baking mode right after Dopey for a week or so. Then it will be healthy eating and strict workouts!!! I need to drop the weight we’ve put on with all this training!
I’ve been starving due to our mileage and eat like a teenage boy at least half of the week! Technically I’ve started dropping a couple of pounds the last couple of weeks. But I think that’s due to our high miles. Legs are strong but my belly is, um, cushy!!!! But you still got in 3 miles and did a good pace too!!!!! Keep it up!!
