Cupcake Marathon 2011

So, I decided earlier this month that not only would I attempt to meet Tall Mom's challenge of 93 miles for the month of March but that I would also participate in


and so with my half marathon training schedule I kind of knew I would be able to meet the actual marathon distance for the week. In fact, if I followed my plan to a "t" I would be over the marathon distance (26.2) by just a smidge.

So, I signed up for the 26.2 Cupcake Marathon 2011.

How did I do??
Well, here is a recap of my runs for last week.

3/14 ~ 4.12 miles 41:55 10:10 pace
3/15 ~ 1 mile 10:00 for a solid 10:00 pace
3/16 ~ 6 miles 59:45 9:58 pace
3/17 ~ 4 miles 40:52 10:13 pace
3/18 ~ 12.02 miles 2:13:02 11:04 pace

And just like that I ran a total of 27.14 miles for the week. Even though I did not complete a marathon in one run I am still proud of the weekly mileage that went beyond that of a marathon. I never even dreamed that I would become a runner at all so this is a huge accomplishment for me! And maybe...a huge MAYBE..one day I will (but not for a long time so those of you who KNOW me, know me...don't get any crazy ideas just yet) actually run a real marathon, like in one run. ;)
