I will be running a few 12 milers until the marathon. I was looking for a loop course to test my progress on and I think this one is pretty good. It stays relatively flat for a while and then has some pretty good uphill. The last four miles is downhill. I ran this with Stacie, and she ran too late yesterday and was struggling a little today. I plan to run this a little faster in the future, but I think this is a good course. There are parks for me to get water that are spaced out so that I don't have to bring any water with me. The time off from running was great. My leg felt pretty good. There is still a little pain, but nothing like what I was going through the past two weeks. I may have to cut one running day out each week and replace it with biking. I'm almost thinking I should just replace all the running with biking. Can I bike the marathon? I wouldn't even have to pedal for most of it. Just the facts.
