Today marked the beginning of week 3 of my marathon training. My 6 mile run this morning was the 9th run of my training, 37 miles total. The weather was once again nice for running, depending on your perspective. It was drizzly and about 45 degrees, which to me is perfect running weather. There was just enough drizzle to keep people off the trail, but it didn't rain hard enough to impede my progress. For some strange reason, I decided to start towards the Delaware Hill. Tulsa runners know this hill well. We don't have many hills in Tulsa, but that is one of the most notorious. I ran my first 1.5 miles that way and was hurting.
Fortunately, what goes up must come down, and the last 4.5 miles were pretty easy. I ran an even pace, focusing on correct running form. It was slower than Saturday, but a good pace for a long run. My next run will be in Branson on Wednesday morning. Something tells me I will be missing the Delaware Hill.
