Day 45-74

YES we are still here & running!!! Life has just REALLY picked up and so blogging has been put on the back burner. SORRY for those who are following. I hope to get back into blogging about our journey. Running is on the game plan for tomorrow! Today was our day of rest! :)

Day 44

the remnant from our run today...

A milestone today for us...DOUBLE DIGITS (so in our previous training 2 1/2 years ago we actually got up to 11 miles in training so we have done it before but it has been a while)!! What a perfect day for a run. The weather & the way we felt was right on. Definitely perfect for marathon day!

10 miles in 1:32:48 which is a 9:16 pace!

Day 41

Today we worked on our speed. 3.11 miles in 25:53 which is a 8:19 pace. it's not our best time like here but it is pretty dang close! before we even hit 1 mile we both were feeling...well...like poop. BUT some how we regained our strength to finish strong. that first mile were were pushing a 7:50ish pace.

now on to the sad news...you see we hadn't signed up for the chicago marathon just yet because (according to last year) it didn't fill up till the end of April, and well we are at the end of MARCH people! So to play it safe, daniel went on the internet tuesday night to sign us up so that we would have PLENTY of time to get in. To his surprise IT HAD FILLED UP JUST 4 HOURS BEFORE THAT! I kid you not! I mean REALLY?!?! So after crying like babies and throwing tantrums on the floor (haha j/k...or am i?) we picked ourselves back up, regained composure and began searching for another one to run. Even though this one was our dream to run in...apparently we weren't suppose to run in it! more details to come about what we will be running in. We are still training and preparing ourselves!..just a bit bummed. Here's to a new adventure!
