week 7

First of all, my dad came over for diner. I was really happy about that, since I didn't see him for over a year. He was very thrilled about my running, but he said to run the marathon only when I was ready, since it's very hard. So, he gave me some tips about running a marathon (like running one in the Netherlands since it's flat), and about where to buy shoes, go see a sports doctor, etc... I'm gonna call him when I'll have to do my long runs, since he knows some nice trails and then he can pass me water and stuff, which is really important.

So, about my week 7:
- tue: 3 miles
- wed: 6 miles
- thur: 3 miles
-sat: 12 miles

I skipped tuesday, since a friend of mine had free tickets to the movies. My right knee was still sore from running on saturday too, so I thought the extra rest day wouldn't harm.
Today I ran 9,2 km in 45 minutes. I ran in another park, where the laps are around 1,5 km (slightly less then a mile) and I did 6 laps. From ppl I heared that the lap was like 1,7-1,8km, but I took my Garmin along and it gave lengths between 1,5-1,65 km, so it must be like 1,55 km or something. At first I thought I started too fast but I could keep the pace, I actually ran faster at the end. I hope I won't regret that tomorrow :). All laps were around 7:30, with a last one of 7:16.
