Last year began my aborted attempt to run this race. Try number two as it were. It was disappointing to have to deal with runners' knee when what I really wanted to do is get out there run and get better. This year is different for many reasons.
- I have been running solidly for 4 months without issue beyon a couple of small injuries.
- I have been consistent in my milage
- I have over the past couple of weeks put in 7 and 8 miles on my long runs.
- After having done both the Broad Street Run (10miles) and the Double Trouble (15k mountain trail) I have race experience.
- At my current health level I am already capable of completing the course
However, I am not one to rest on my laurels. I have put together my training program for the Philly Distance Run. It is a standard program moving from 22 to 26 miles over the next 8 weeks until the Distance Run. I will keep you updated on my progress.
The Marsh Creek Raptor Run is on Sunday and I am excited to do my best on this one. I will be shooting for about 1 hour and 10 minutes for the 5 mile course. I think this is a conservative goal and I hope to be able to complete it.
