33 days till Marathon

33 days left till I run my first marathon - PEI Marathon, I'm getting really excited. My training has been following the course it should be and I've managed to get my avg km pace under 6 mins mostly running 5:35 avg km, which is ideal as Dad and I just went over the race strategy for the marathon and we want to make sure that we reach our target of under 4:15, as that is what Dad needs to qualify for the Boston Marathon. We used a really cool tool called a Marathon Pace Calculator found at www.marathonguys.com. It allowed us to punch in difference finish times and would give us our avg pace and the time to be at for each km. Great tool!
Today was a great day, I felt good. Ran out to beach and back today. Just a little 10km run, filled my lungs with the morning air and sailed through each km. My time wasn't as good as my time at Beauchamp Chiropractic Wellness Run last Sunday, I ended up running with a seasoned marathoner and was pushed a little bit harder than normal and did the run in 51mins and change. At least I know I'm capable of more, now it's just to be able to push myself during my training runs.
Today's Stats: 6.2 miles, 9.97km in 55:37, avg pace 5:35/km, avg speed 10.8 km/h burned 895 cal

Weather: WED SEPT 15, 2010 8:00am A few cloudsTemp 8
WindW 11 Humidity 100
Listened to: Ester and Jerry Hicks - The Astonishing Power of Emotions, my run is my daily meditation time, it's great to add a channeled audio to the mix!
