Now that I've embraced shorter distances, I love tempo runs. I love leaving it all out there on the trail and coming home knowing that I had a good workout!<br /><br />Good luck with your training, and remember to have fun!<br /><br />Thanks for linking up!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673587906852568968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720427310581652580.post-77391332175623068842016-01-25T08:41:16.348-06:002016-01-25T08:41:16.348-06:00How exciting!!!

I ran my first marathon a year and a half ago and while it was the most challenging thing I have ever done...it was also the most rewarding! <br /><br />I had a sub 4 goal for my first marathon and I had people look at me like I was crazy...and that my goal should be to "just finish" for my first one...and that was frustrating! I did have to work through a small injury and cut down on speedwork...but ended up running a 4:04...SO CLOSE!! That is what spurred marathon #2 ;) <br /><br />Good luck in your training! Good luck with your sub 4...your plans for quality runs sound great!! Don't forget a little bit of cross-training/strength training as well..it seriously does wonders for warding off those nagging injuries!

Determination is key. I'm excited you've decided to run your first marathon.
