I can't believe it; I got all my miles in last week, and they were all from running! And so far so good. After 18 miles yesterday, I thought I would be so wasted today. I'm a little sore, but nothing bad. The 18 miler took me three hours and fifteen minutes. I ended up having to walk about half a mile total; I just could not run any more uphills in the last two miles. One big mistake I made was not bringing any fuel. I think I probably could've run the last hills if I had brought something to fuel with. I will definitely remember that for the marathon. I'm thinking a cream cheese packet and maybe a coconut oil packet or something like that. If I am going to crash, they will have GU at the water stations that I can eat as a last resort. But I'm going to be prepared, so I doubt it will come to that.
Week 14 starts the taper. The total mileage is 26 compared to last week's 36. Then the week before the marathon is only 22 total. This week I have an easy 4-miles, a 6-mile slow/fast/slow, an easy 6-miles and a 10-mile long run.
