Mark Sanders MAY be the first one in our family to run a marathon! Mark and his Aunt Marie will fly to Hawaii where he plans to participate in the Honolulu Marathon, December 12, 2010.
Mark has completed the P-90X circuit twice and is starting a third round. It's a grueling regime, so be impressed!
To prepare for the marathon Mark has been training faithfully since August and is now up to to 17 miles (about 4 weeks ago). He has been running an average of 25-30 miles per week and running 4 times a week. M,W,Th are shorter 5-8 miles, then Saturdays are the long run of 10-20. It just depends on the week.
However, he has had some knee issues and had to put the training on hold. Let's all hope his knee gets better so all his training can pay off. If not, there's always next year!
Consider us impressed--it wouldn't even occur to me to think of it--I would be doing good to get in five miles a week--and a marathon would count for better than a month! Great scenery to run in--can't do much better than Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteIf Mark needs anybody to take care of that trip (sans the marathon), have him give me a call...
