Flying Pig Marathon: 9 weeks to go

Training is going well so far. Because of my schedule and the weather, I've had to switch up my days and also missed my 8x100 strides because I simply don't have a lot of actual solid ground to run in the other day. What is good is that I've kept up my mileage so I'm feeling strong right now.

I just took a look at last year's mileage and I'm, surprisingly, at double the mileage for the same period a year ago! I wasn't in marathon training last year and also R was moving to DC so there was a lot of days I could have been running that I was doing other things. Funny thing is, we have way more snow on the ground this year so it's a more severe winter.
