That's what I figure, just push a little bit more each week. I was right on "schedule" according to Hal Higdon's training schedule until I went on vacation and got behind. The schedule says that this week should be 15 miles. I don't think I could squeeze that much out of my legs quite yet, but we'll have to see what Saturday brings.

Are you training for anything in particular right now?

I'm thinking of doing the Gasparilla half marathon. That would be two weeks after the full marathon.

I'm "toying" with the idea of running the Gasparilla 15k on Saturday and the Half on Sunday. Rich said it would be sorta like my own "Goofy Challenge" ..Tampa-style...

Right now, I'm building miles .. up to 13+ on Saturdays .. hope to get closer to 15-17 by Feb. Will see how this old bod holds up. I did the Gasparilla half last year and its fun; certainly alot easier than the full .. but IMO, Tampa's marathons are better than Disneys (even without Mickey) .. I dunno, maybe I'm just partial to my hometown...!

Saturday, 12/1: 13.3 mile run on our local trail. It was a gorgeous morning for a nice leisurely half marathon plus!

13.1 in 2:50 my furthest distance so far.

I walked my 12th mile...the lactic acid was giving me fits. But I ran 13! Ran Davis Island and Bayshore with the YMCA Blue Sharks. It was nice and I'll definitely be doing it again next week.

15 miles in 2:30. It was 24 degrees with a wind chill of 10. A bit brisk.

8 inches of snow coming tonight. Ugh.
