I'm no expert so I'm just going to say my general thoughts.... it's possible (I did consider a closer one...3 weeks between races) but decided to wait until CIM. Most of the books I have read recommend 4 weeks between HARD races... i.e. going for PR effort etc. But obviously that might not be the case for everyone. I know that we are all different :)<br /><br />How have you been recovering from the first one?<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325067352277421071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422411720783541847.post-42936491278229193362013-10-24T08:25:01.862-04:002013-10-24T08:25:01.862-04:00Progress is huge...seeing it and feeling it is one...Progress is huge...seeing it and feeling it is one of the most amazing things.

I ask because I just did a marathon Sat and bonked. My pr is 3:36 but thta is with no speed or tempo training and only going 16 miles that was last year. I worked my butt off ...followed a plan...and did speed and tempo this time and got 3:45, I just bonked and it didn't help the course was all hills. I was on 3:20 pace till mile 19 then faded and ended up walking about 3 miles. I did a half in June in 1:32. I think I am capable of a 3:15 but I would have been happy with a 3:20 or even 3:25. There is another flat course in 2 weeks that I almost want to go for....I would love your thoughtsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473805445986111986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422411720783541847.post-30376604724093216212013-10-21T18:46:33.270-04:002013-10-21T18:46:33.270-04:00I love that you're going after it again!

It does take a few weeks after a marathon to get the kick back, as I just discovered, but it felt good and gave me some confidence going into this week (which I needed that confidence badly!). You are doing great with your goals and I love how you ran the race with your sis. Cupcakes are delicious and one of my weaknesses too, hehe. <br /><br />Good luck with the goals this week and hopefully you will earn that massage!Amy Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197087030892201936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422411720783541847.post-79894573662389218372013-10-21T11:24:41.994-04:002013-10-21T11:24:41.994-04:00Those cupcakes look SO good.
