Just a quick update to mark the day I reached the half way point in my 16 week training plan for the LaCrosse Marathon on May 3rd.
This week I ran 19.0 miles in 3h 19m 26s and biked 8.0 miles in 29m 33s. I also broke 100 running miles for the year this week! I was able to run outside on Friday for my 7 mile tempo run, and it went much better than I expected. I was still pretty sore today, and had to do my 9 mile long run on the treadmill at the Y because it was snowing outside on top of ice from rain earlier in the day. That run went better than expected as well, and I'm running these distances faster than I ever have with minimal walking.
This weeks plan calls for 17 miles of running, but I'll be adding an easy 3 miler tomorrow to bring it up to 20.

Way to go! Keep up the great work!
You are doing great... you are faster than you were last year and now you can't run with your slow wife anymore
Hey, sounds like you're setting up for a great season. Stop by the FBG site after this weekend and tell us about the 5 mile race and your marathon training.
Definitely stop by FBG - your marathon finish was definitely noticed.
And I'm curious as to your opinion on your Bottechia bike I spied. I have been considering them.
