Applefest- 2:17:05,a 10:28 pace- not very thrilled with that.

That's great! It took me 2:53 to run my first (and only to this point) half marathon with a 14ish minute mile pace. I can run forever as long as I go slow

Great job today Linda. Wasn't it beautiful running today? So crisp and fall like. I love running in fall with all the sights and smells!! Keep up the great work and you will surely rock the marathon in January.

Hey, Linda. Just checking in to say hi and compliment you on the great consistency you have with your pace! That's a beautiful thing to see - you just keep going no matter what (I think I'm nicknaming you the WISH Energizer Bunny!!). Keep inspiring us out here!

Hope you have a great week!

6 miles today in 58:38,a 9:46 pace.

Used a Garmin for the first time-what a difference to be able to really tell what pace you are doing.

Sunny,breezy and 38 degrees.

Hey Linda! You are doing great with your training!!! Your pace has been great on all those runs....I wish I could run that fast...I am getting there slowly but surely!!

I saw your post about marathon weekend....definetely check out the forum for renting DVC points, you can find some great deals on there, you just have to be quick sometimes when people post. Sometimes AAA has room discounts as well, you may want to check them out as well.

Keep up the good work, you are going to do great in January!!

Thanks Laurie!

Did my 9 miles today in 1:33:47,a 10:25 pace.I am supposed to be doing a 10:49 pace but OMG I can walk faster.

With the Garmin I am borrowing I find that my pace goes all over the place.I am not too consistant.

Weather today is 50, cloudy, no wind.

Hey Linda. With the Garmin, I find that I'm all over the place too, but I just look at the avg for each mile. I hope you are finding it useful!

Also...keep an eye on any codes that may come out. Last year they had some of OKW and SSR. I'm waiting for codes too. I'll let you know what they have. Hopefully within the next week or two there will be something.

Linda,

Here is a link to when previous codes have been released. It is obviously no guarantee for the future, but at least you can see what has been offered in the past.

Linda...nice job with the 10 and 6 mile runs! I think the biking is GREAT cross training as well. Hope you are ok after taking that spill out there...be careful.

What is your furthest scheduled run over the next two months?
