6 Weeks to Marathon No. 12

I'm slightly ahead of my modest marathon training program. Ran 6 miles on Black Friday along the rolling hils of Lancaster County, through a cute covered bridge. Tourists on horse and buggy rides waved at me, probably hoping that I were an Amish boy.
Last week, I ran 12 miles v. 10 miles in my training program. I fell apart after 3 miles during the Front Runners Philadelphia Monday Fun Run. It was a bruise to my ego. I recovered by Wednesday, and had a great Rocky 5-mile run on Saturday.
I just hope to keep up my training schedule in December when I'm not partying or going on a shopping spree.
