I'm hoping this isn't a prelude to the training, but today was a struggle. The heat was a factor I'm sure as I ran during the middle of the day, but I just didn't have it. I am not feeling well at all and I'm surprised I did as well as I did today.
The Tucson marathon is December 2nd and I now have 4 full months to prepare. I'll need under an average of 9 minute and 9 second miles the entire 26.2 trek to achieve my goal of an under 4 hour marathon.
Why do I think I have a chance? Check out the elevation chart of the Tucson marathon. We'll start at 4,730 feet and end up at 2,586 feet....downhill the entire way. My knees might hurt on December 3rd.
