14 Weeks to Disney

After a two week wait, I finally received my new custom orthotics.

Goddamn, these things are are expensive. Insurance doesn't even cover them. And why would they, right?

So I am 14 weeks to the marathon, and I'm now going to try and ramp up my running again.

Yesterday, I WALKED 3 hours or about 10 miles around the reservoir, 3 times.

Today was a rest day.

Tomorrow I do a 3 mile test run with a 2:1 run/walk ratio.

Thursday I will do an interval elliptical workout.

Friday biking

Saturday elliptical again

Sunday stretching.

This will be fun.

15 Weeks to Disney

I have 15 weeks until I run the Walt Disney Marathon in Orlando, Florida. Shout outs to my wife-today is our Anniversary-My teammate Donna, who runs Portland Marathon this Sunday, my son Liam, who is running his first fun run this weekend as well. I await new orthotics which hopefully correct the recurring calf strain which has plagued me all summer. Best to all you runners and friends out there. Please let me know how YOUR running is going and I'll talk to you soon.
