Today was a pivotal day in my running, at least I think so. While my friends and family know, most of my readers do not: I've signed up for the San Francisco Marathon on July 27. This will be my 3rd marathon and today's 15 mile run was my personal test to see if I can do it. I don't know why 15 miles is so crucial for me, but I've used it as a yardstick for my last 2 big races and I was successful in finishing both of those!
I know that running 15 miles does not mean that you can run 26. I can run 13 miles no problem, so it's truly a mental game to get to 15 for me. And I managed to run the distance without any music for the last 10 miles (thanks to a dead battery on my iPod shuffle), which I think is the bigger accomplishment! I have 3 months of strenuous training in front of me and the Dallas summer already rearing its ugly head. It is going to be a challenge to be ready in time, but I know I can do it!
