Tomorrow I have my two granddaughters all day! I am so excited about this. No running for nana tomorrow.
Sunday I will take my "long" run. It won't be as long as my run last week. Next weekend I will attempt 15 miles. I ran into a guy at the race expo last Saturday who recommended that I add 2 miles every other weekend. I don't know.
I think being 56 years old and trying to train for a first marathon takes a lot of, shall we say, cojones. Maybe coupled with a shortage of brains.
The bad thing about a new computer? All of my photos are on my old computer. I am used to pulling up thousands of photos to post any old time I feel like it. I have only about 20 photos on this baby so far. I will get more, trust me... I will.
Have a great weekend everyone. And good luck to everyone who is racing.

Hope your run on Sunday is a good one. I'm doing my long run tomorrow. :)
Yes, adding 2 every other week sounds very smart! My ptman told me 1 a week back in the day so that would be the same and actually sounds better.
I hope your run goes well!
I can't wait to get to this part of my life:
"Tomorrow I have my two granddaughters all day! I am so excited about this."
You get to see them as much as you want yet can send them home when you've had enough :P LOL
That's the way the Galloway plan works. Increase your mileage by 10% every weekend until you get up to 10 miles. Then alternate a long run with the extra 10% every other weekend with a short 3-6 mile run on the weekend. Check out his free plans on his web site.
I'm sure there is a way to transfer all your photos to your new computer. I lost all of my digital photos over a 10 year period. If you don't have yours backed up, I suggest you get them copied! I hated myself for letting that happen....
Ditto Wes' comment...the two miles every other weekend is very wise.
No, you're not nuts to be planning for the marathon...why can't a 56 year old run it?? No reason...stay with it, you'll make it.
Enjoy the grandies...I saw mine last night and it was special!!!
2 miles every other week sounds reasonable to me.
