Peak Week

Well folks, for those of you following along, I've run a grand total of 402 miles in preparation for my first (and last) marathon. This week is peak week... I'm running a total of 40 miles, culminating with my long run that will be 20 miles (the longest I'll run until the race). It's all downhill after this. To make it even more challenging, Mother Nature has turned up the thermostat. Most of my runs have to be after work since they're too long to squish in before, which means I'm running in 80+ degree heat. Nothing like a little hard work to make you appreciate the AC in your car! Fingers crossed that I can survive this week!
