Seems like you could handle a higher mileage plan, maybe 50 miles at the peak? Other people might have better advice on this, but you seem to be able to handle higher mileage well. <br /><br />That is funny that you were at Rancho too and did the same route as me! I will relish the day that I can attack that hill again, that is my favorite hill that I run in the bay area. Such a challenge. I actually had to park at Cristo Rey Drive (the neighborhood that is next to Rancho), since the parking lot was full. So I might have done 7 miles, I'm not sure. When I was going out to the turnaround point, I saw a bunch of good runners coming at me, I think they were from San Jose Fit? They were all wearing various marathon shirts - Big Sur, SF, San Jose, etc. <br /><br />When I'm fully healthy maybe we can meet up at Rancho for a run - I know Paul of 50 is the new 30 asked me about this too.Nellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613262056157769496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13352884.post-56258316496305325392011-10-31T10:49:26.454-07:002011-10-31T10:49:26.454-07:00Howdy Tricia,

The more of them you have done the easier marathons get. <br /><br />You are right on doing the base building and ignoring your pace! <br /><br />Might want to consider some drills/strength training now before you up your pace...Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752798450146454511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13352884.post-91252557699458377482011-10-31T10:11:48.210-07:002011-10-31T10:11:48.210-07:00That sounds very sensible to me!

I'm excited for you and can't wait to hear which full marathon you pick.Terzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617301871875902162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13352884.post-49736665293096151022011-10-30T21:43:59.126-07:002011-10-30T21:43:59.126-07:00Exciting!
