Marathon 3

Timberline Tomorrow

By @colleenalicia · On June 4, 2010

Twenty-four hours from now, I’ll be running a marathon (at least that’s the plan). Other than the fact that I’m not feeling entirely confident, I don’t have a lot more to say about it, but I wanted to give you a last chance to give me marathon advice so you can take partial credit in my success/failure if you want. One thing I’ve learned about training for a marathon is that people love to give you advice about running marathons. Which is good, because I love hearing it.

I’ll report back soon, and might even do some tweeting up on the mountain tomorrow.

Miles run this week: 7
Miles run in 2010: 398

I must confess, I started running at a very early age. Sadly, my runs were unblogumented until around age 23, so you'll have to use your imagination for all the runs I went on before that. Running has always been my go-to sport, but sadly, I spend a good amount of my time with chronic injuries. I have learned to entertain myself athletically with other pursuits such as kettlebell, yoga, and bikini competitions, when I can't run. In addition to my unique talent for working out and then blogging about it, I am an amateur puppy stylist and photographer, television enthusiast, and I'm usually CPR/AED certified, but I would still prefer if you didn't pass out when we're together.

    Sleep 1 hour for every 2 miles you plan on running… preferably beforehand, but feel free to take breaks.

    Also the Google verification word was “loser.” Hard not to take that as a bad omen.

    Run really fast! But not so fast that you can’t run the whole way. This advice brought to you by Haylie Swenson. Always more where that came from.
