2008年秋季馬拉松賽訓練 ∕ Training for the Fall 2008 Running Marathon

I surprised even myself by running two half-marathons (about 13 miles each) in three days, with half a day of weight training in between. It seems that in the last couple of months, my body has built up a reasonably good aerobic base to sustain such an overload of physical activities. Actually, when I started my second 13-miler, the weather was abt 30 deg C and I was not sure whether I should push my luck. But once I got into the running pace and breathing rhythm, my body were sending me positive signal and I knew then I would be able to finish the second run. My current plan is to run a half-marathon race in late September and then a full running marathon 14 days later. Wish me luck :)

紅葉舞秋風，訓練馬拉松，忘了夏日泳，積穀好過冬！
