Is it easier to get in your miles? I know that seems like a weird question but I want to ask you a few things and get you to think about a few other.
Is it easy for you to do one mile? How about two or three? Is four a distance that doesn't scare you? If you answered yes, then this training is working. You are getting better!
But, Mark, six miles isn't easy! It's not supposed to be! This week we are going further than you have gone before and it is a stretch. It should be hard. But five isn't as hard now, neither is 4,3,2 or 1! Each week should be harder and the hardest of all will be 26.2 miles BUT by that time 18, 20, and 22 will be easy.
The long runs are hard and will always be hard but the previous weeks will always be easier. So stay the course and continue your growth - you are doing that, you know!
People are like rubber bands, they are only effective if they are stretched!

I cannot believe I am saying this, but the 1,2,3,4 miles ARE easier. For someone who could only go 1 mile painfully... that is an accomplishment. That is what I am focusing on .... the difference between January and now and even at the Marathon.. If I don't do anything but walk 26.2, I will have accomplished a LOT MORE than I have EVER done in my life... so in advance...Thank you Thank you THank you. See you tomorrow
Thank you Mark. I still get extremely anxious before a Saturday run. I know I can do it I just get so nervous. Maybe this is good. Thank you for your encouragement. See you tomorrow.
