Running in AK: Three more days to go...
http://northtoakrun.blogspot.com/2005/11/three-more-days-to-go.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2005. Three more days to go. So I did my last real run before the race - I ran about 30 minutes at race pace, and felt pretty good. Hopefully I can remember what that feels like on the day of the race! So I can spend the time I used to spend training getting the "important" parts of the running done - I mean, it's one thing to run a marathon, but one also should be coordinated and have good music to run to, shouldn't one?

Running in AK: Running Long, October 17
http://northtoakrun.blogspot.com/2005/10/running-long-october-17.html
Monday, October 17, 2005. Running Long, October 17. I've always felt that long, slow distance produces long, slow runners.". Last week was somewhat of a bust, with my cold coming back with a vengeance. I took it as a sign that I needed to relax a bit, and therefore did not do my 17 mile long run this week. So, this week's schedule goes something like this:. Monday- XC training (plyometrics). Tuesday - Tuesday Night Trail Run/8x800 at 8:15. Wednesday - XC training (weight training). Friday - easy day!

Running in AK: Other people's marathons, and a 20-miler completed!
http://northtoakrun.blogspot.com/2005/10/other-peoples-marathons-and-20-miler.html
Sunday, October 30, 2005. Other people's marathons, and a 20-miler completed! Anne ran the USMC Marathon today, and survived! Dad ran the Silicon Valley Marathon, and turned in a 4:16! Way to go to both of them! While waiting for their results to come in, I redid my 20 miler that I should have done on Saturday. Another very unpleasant thing to do after running 20 miles. Now, I am looking forward to picking up Frank from the airport and going to sleep! Wednesday: Killer XC weights class. Yikes. Running Lo...

Running in AK: Las Vegas Marathon Report
http://northtoakrun.blogspot.com/2005/12/las-vegas-marathon-report.html
Wednesday, December 07, 2005. Las Vegas Marathon Report. Now that I have a few days between me and Las Vegas, I'm ready to do a race report! First of all, I have to commend Devine Racing for really shaping up the LV marathon. I ran the race last year. And the race organization left a LOT to be desired. This year, I thought the race organization was much better, and certainly being able to run up the strip was a super highlight. The best part is always the expo for me - it's so full of hope and excitement!

Running in AK: The Mind of a Marathoner
http://northtoakrun.blogspot.com/2005/10/mind-of-marathoner.html
Saturday, October 29, 2005. The Mind of a Marathoner. I've got about five weeks until the marathon, and I'm a bit nervous. I was going to run my long 20 miler today, but had such a struggle with it that I'm going to retry tomorrow. What went wrong? Eventhough I've done 26 miles four times before, running long takes, well, forever! So which ones are best? Then go back to my music or book (dissociation). So make sure, especially in the last month before your marathon, to do some work internally on preparin...

Running in AK: Running Report, October 23
http://northtoakrun.blogspot.com/2005/10/running-report-october-23.html
Sunday, October 23, 2005. Running Report, October 23. Last week, I stayed "pretty much" on track, except that my entire Thursday workout was shot. I'm finding that the speed workouts really do make me run faster, although I still prefer to do my long runs at a slow pace. Speaking of long runs, I had to complete my 18 miler on treadmills at the gym. Yes, it's become the time of the year in AK where running longer than an hour outside is not so fun. Yuck! Monday- XC training (plyometrics). North to AK Life!
