Marathon Man - Bloody Hill
The countdown is now at eight weeks until the Cowtown Marathon. Plenty of time!
The high point of last weeks training was a hill run we did Wednesday night. First we ran about a mile and a half to get to the hill and then we did six 600 meter hill repeats. That's running up hill for a third of a mile. Six times. I ran all of 2 of the 6 and ran/walked the other four. But, I did all 6, thank you very much. For the locals, the run was up Pennsylvania Ave to Magnolia, in Fair Oaks.
The Saturday run was a manageable 10 miles along the American River Parkway. Next Saturday is a half-marathon (13-14 miles) in El Dorado Hills. I'm curious what that route will look like.
If you're just joining us, this is all about me running the CowTown Marathon this October as a fund raiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Details can be found here. You can make donations here.

You're amazing. My son and I went to the Smithsonian on Saturday and walked around the National Mall for a few hours and my legs are still sore. How you can even contemplate doing a marathon is beyond me. Keep it up!
