You still got in your long run and during marathon training that's really the one workout that counts the most!

So often we compare ourselves (and by we, I mean 'I compare myself') to others. When I was training for my first marathon, I would look at others' marathon training schedules and see that they were doing 40-50 mile weeks, running 5-6 days/week, and I would feel that I wasn't doing it right. BUT, I am me and can't compare myself to others that way. So, now I'm pretty careful to make sure that I am being honest with my expectations of myself & that I continue to push myself, but that I don't compare my fitness level, or number of runs, or speed, etc. with anyone else. Four years ago, I hadn't run a continuous mile since high school PE. Eight years ago, I couldn't even walk two continuous miles and was 80 lbs overweight! I think it won't be too long and your suck weeks will be someone else's miracle weeks, too! :) Congrats on taking that step! I think your last statement is such a good one!
