Marathon Training

Welcome to another Fitness Friday inspired by Jill at Life...As I See It. This week my focus is going to be on running and my training plan for my fall marathon.

There are just 85 days left until my Marathon on October 2 in Portland Maine. Below is my training plan for the month of July. This is my fourth marathon so I am trying to improve my previous marathon times by working on speed and hill sessions.
