Marathon training – Week 11 – Goals

Posted by Cecilia on Thursday, October 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

This morning I did my last training run before the marathon. I’m taking the next two days off from running to rest up and carbo load and then on Sunday morning I’ll run the race. I’m pretty excited. I’m sure it won’t be easy but I still think it’s pretty cool that I get to run a marathon. I’ll be happy just to finish but I do have a few slightly loftier goals.

  • Goal #1: Under four hours
    • Goal #1a: Go through half in 2:00 – 2:02
  • Goal #2: Set a new personal best (<4:10:19)
  • Goal #3: Finish proud

It does not appear that the Toronto Marathon website has live tracking on race day. The race starts at 9am so hopefully some time around 1pm my finish time will be available on the Results Page (bib number 1294).

See you on the other side!
