Wooooooohooooooooooooo! I just completed my biggest run volume in a week AND a month. There's a long run I'm gonna do tomorrow which will add more, hehe.

I completed 33mpw this week and so far 108 miles so far this month! Boy am I glad I got this far without any injuries and am super happy next week is a recovery week. I'm training up for the Long Beach International Marathon (my first full marathon) and aim to peak in mid to low 40mpw with a 20 mile LSD run before I taper down. I'm somewhat maintaining some bike and swim fitness (barely =P) as cross training.

I wanted to share this latest achievement with everyone here and am super excited about this upcoming race. =D

Thanks for reading!

Roland =^.^=

Very cool. This will surely pay some big dividends in October.

Also, Best of luck with your long run.

I am also doing Long Beach to kick off my marathon season and maybe see you in the start corral.

Yup, this will be my 7th time running this race and I think the 5th on the current course routing.

Definitely one of the better races in Southern California. Super fast and flat and with pretty good support on the course. Parking WAS my only gripe but I figured out a system that works awesome every year.

Congrats!

I'm a mile away from my own monthly record (with 12 hours left). It's always a rush to set a new PR like that - the best kind if motivation to go out and do more next month.
