About 26 miles. My half marathon didn't go so well, although suziepetunia ran it and did great! The hills and lack of water for 7 miles did me in and I got 2:04. I was hoping for around 1:55. But I did get an apology email in my inbox today with a voucher for a free race fee. You can bet I'll be running another half soon! Now onto the relay in two weeks.
30 something...I ran the Newport marathon and layed a big fat egg. It was hot and I didn't carry my water belt with me and got dehydrated, cramped up, felt dizzy, walked the last 10 miles. My goal of 3:50 obviously was not met. Got a 4:34 My confidence as a runner has really been shaken. Bleh. I know this kind of thing just happens but it sure does stink.

Ha! The Garmin has made me very anal about tracking miles.
27.78 miles and yes, those devices can make us all anal about tracking miles! I missed one run this week....so very sad.

Started the 13.1 Chicago race that was cancelled due to extreme heat.
24 miles -- my first week of training using the FIRST program.
