I woke up Saturday morning at 5:45am to the sound of my alarm clock which seemed to come very early;) Grabbed my Ipod Nano and made the drive to Lake Hefner to begin a 9.1 mile run before the Oklahoma heat was unbearable. It was extremely hot, but I made it around in a normal 9 min/mile pace. My rigorous training schedule for either the Wichita marathon http://www.runwichita.org/marathon/ or Chicago Marathon http://www.chicagomarathon.com/ Oct. 22nd begins officially July 22nd.
This is the training schedule I am adhering too:

My personal marathon/running goals for the rest of the year are listed below:
Oct. 22nd - Finish either the Wichita and/or Chicago Marathon in under 4 hrs to beat my previous 1st marathon time in the Memorial OKC marathon.
Nov. 12th - Finish the Tulsa Run 15K http://www.tulsarun.com/ with a sub 6:45 min. /per mile time.
Nov. 19th - Finish the Tulsa Word Route 66 Marathon in sub 4 hour time...I'll be shooting for sub 3hr 30 min but we'll see....;) Thats a 8 min per/mi pace overall http://www.route66marathon.com/
Dec. 10th - New Las Vegas Marathon http://www.lvmarathon.com/ : Huge goal of a qualifying time for the Boston Marathon which would be a 7:15 min per/mi pace which would be an unbelievable accomplishment with such a short training time, but I want to push myself and see how I can improve:)
