Had a great run today. For me now the 10 mile distance is becoming very manageable, which is a great feeling 🙂

This is all part of my new plan for next years marathons. For those of you that don’t know I have qualified for Boston marathon 2015. I am feeling very honoured as I know many people would love to qualify for this race so when I go there next year, I want to be fully prepared. With this in mind all my training over the next two months is going to provide a great platform to start my marathon training from.

So for today’s run pace was steady ranging from 8.14 to 8.29 so happily kept under that 8.30 threshold I had set myself. I feel it is important to set a pace, especially if you have a time goal in mind for your target race. For me I’m still chasing that sub 3.30 marathon. I’ve completed four in total now:

London 2013 – 3.36.25

Edinburgh 2013 – 3.30.12

Florence 2013 – 3.30.36

London 2014 – 3.30.45

Hopefully you can se my frustration!!! I seem to be stuck in that 3.30 zone. It’s not a terrible place to be, and if after all my attempts 3.30 stays my PB then I will remain a happy 3.30 girl!! But I still and very competitive with myself so will be giving it a good go!!

Next weekend I have entered The Marlow Striders Half Marathon.

Check it out.

I am planing to do a half marathon (or more) distance race every month in the lead up to April next year. So this is my November event. I have never run in this race before so have no idea of the course, but have read online that isn’t easy I will let you know!!

So in the build up this week I am planning 3 runs. One 8 mile, a 6 mile and a 4 mile (hills) then the race. 31 miles this week 🙂

Maybe a couple of bike rides too and I would like to get to the bikram studio. This weeks exercise plan is set.

Today I tried out this GU gel. It was very tasty as I seem to struggle with certain flavours of these gels. Anything fruity is a no go!! But with this caramel I was feeling great!!!! Happy days :)))
