Training for New York, Week 8, and Shana Tova!

Saturday!!!!!Long Run Done!!! 20 miles!!!! Yes 20 !!!!

It went well.

I estimate, through various marathon calculators online, that this 56-year-old Bubbie( grandma) will finish the New York Marathon in approximately 7:15 -7:20 hours.

Last year, 2024, I finished the marathon at 7:13:17.

On Friday night, I had a delicious Italian dinner at Antique Table Lynn.

I love that restaurant.

The next morning, I was running!

My body seems to be very aware that I am in peak training.

I ended up not swimming or taking a barbell class this past week, to prepare for the long run.

Marathon Day is exactly 6 weeks from today. Time to book a flight !!!

Tomorrow is the start of Rosh Hashanah.
On Rosh Hashanah, it is customary to greet one another with blessings and good wishes for a good year by saying “shana tova!”
Time to enjoy the holiday!

Sunday, I watched my daughter run the Salem Wicked Half Marathon. We were able to catch her in three different locations: 5, 8, and mile 10.
