In the last week I've heard a few people mention books by Hal Higdon on marathon training, and I don't have a lot of time left for the Portland Marathon on October 4th. Melanie found a link to a marathon training schedule that I'm now using, from Hal Higdon's Marathon Training Guide. According to the guide, I needed to run 9 miles today. So we packed up the jogging stroller and went to the lake this afternoon.
By the 8.5 mile mark I ran out of water and the heat/sun was starting to wear me out, so I walked the last .5 miles and called it a day. Mel and Finn made a couple of laps around the lake too, and were watching all of the boats in the 2009 United States Rowing Association Southwest Masters Regionals.
Music of the day: "Rubber Soul," by the Beatles and the Pulp Fiction soundtrack.
