I wish all marathons could be over the winter months so I’d never have to train in temps over, say, 65 degrees, haha. Ah, if only. ;)

But I’m with you — I KNOW I made a huge mistake by wimping out on hill training, and I definitely paid for it on race day! Not making that mistake again!

They keep it simple and manageable, and as experienced runners, we can always make modifications and build on them if we so choose. The intermediate/advanced plans scare the crap outta me, not gonna lie, haha.

Oh, believe me, I’ve perfected the art of the fake smile for race photos, LOL. But thank you!! :)

I suck at forcing myself to get it over with early, but I know that is the ONLY way to do it without wanting to drop dead afterwards, haha.

I have been avoiding it or running super early in the morning.

Unlike you, it’s usually my body that fails me while my mind is saying Go Go Go!!!…lol. Can’t wait to follow your training again. Oh, and even though you say you were miserable during NYC, none of your pictures reflected it. You always look so happy to be running!

I am currently ramping up for Dumbo and then will continue on after that for NYCM. I am trying hard to add in more speedwork now (yes, even in the heat) and work on finishing fast. I am hoping doing some hill training will help with the elevation at NYCM.

I’m good through June and parts of July, but when the heats settles in, it’s really difficult to get me running.

It was canceled in 2012, I had to defer in 2013, and then finally ran it in 2014. I gotta say- I’m super happy I’m not training for a fall marathon during the Arizona summer this year!! Training for a full is like having a part time job!! Best of luck to you and I’ll be excited to read your recap.
