two months... four marathons!!!

Today I spent a lot of time working out a reasonable training schedule for the next two months. Well, it looks like a lot of fun. two months four marathons, that is kinda too many, but I would have to do this if I were to run the 100 miler race in November.

I have a self-imposed ban on alcohol till the next marathon. When I finish the marathon race on 24th of September, I could drink all I want. Then I shouldn't drink anything till the next marathon race, that is Nairobi race on October 23rd. I think this would be fun and it will help me be focused on the training.

The training schedule which calls for a 36-37kms run today which I hope to do this evening. It's going to be a little tough though as I am going to take the cross country route via the Buckingham canal road which has uneven surface with lots of thorn bushes around. This will be good for ankles and knees any way.

This is the schedule:
