Ony 96 more training runs until my first marathon, the Walt Disney 2020 Marathon!

Wow…can you believe that May is over?  Personaly, I am glad because that means summer vacation for this educator and a couple of months of morning running instead of afternoon runs in the heat and wind.  I so prefer morning runs!

Let’s take a look how May was in terms of my marathon training…

Highs

• Did not miss a single training run and even made up for the one I missed in April.
• I ran my fastest pace EVER.
• I ran my fastest mile EVER.
• I learned that Jeff Galloway’s Magic mile formula for long runs really works!
• I built up to 11 miles in running distance.
• Finished another successful StepBet Challenge.
• Officially into double digits of training runs left until 2020 Walt Disney World Marathon.

Lows

• My weight loss has hit a plateau, mainly because I have not been focused and 100% on plan…modified plans get modified results.  I am holding steady at 35 pounds lost since November.

Goals for June

So what does June have in store in terms of running & training?  I actually have 2 races scheduled, Rock & Roll Seattle and the Slacker Half Marathon.  I am hoping to get a personal best time out of one of these races and break the 3 hour barrier, which has always been a goal of mine since I started taking running seriously.  I am also hoping to reach 40-45 pounds lost by my birthday at the end of the month.
