12 in the books this weekend. Good cross training for stability muscles given the slush on lakefront path at spots.

Good job on the long run.

I start week 3 of my training plan for the next marathon today.  Last night I finally made it official and signed up for the Knoxville marathon - it's in early April.

Awesome! Good luck on your race!

Two weeks until the next marathon and I'm feeling a tad nervous.  I lost a week of training to illness and my pace has been much slower than I'd like on my long runs.  Hoping I can do what I need to in order to finish within the course time limit.

Can I get some weather vibes sent my way please?  There are thunderstorms in the forecast now for my race in a week .  I don't mind getting wet and did run a marathon in CT a year ago in pouring rain so I can do that.  But thunderstorms mean the race has a good chance of getting canceled and I'm out a lot of money for travel not to mention all this training done for nothing if that happens .

I feel bad for you.  The same race was this past Saturday and it was 70 and a mix of sun and clouds.

Maybe I didn't need to know that 😂.  Oh well - the weather is out of my control of course and  it did at least prove I could get a marathon done in pretty miserable weather.

Weather forecast for tomorrow still doesn't look very good .

Thunderstorms stayed away - yeah 😀.  Rained pretty much the whole race but I was ok with that as it was in the high 80's and sunny the last couple days.  The rain was much better - temps were around mid 60's.  Not sure why I thought signing up for a hilly marathon was a good idea though 😂.

State 16 done and marathon 19 overall today in Knoxville.
