Week 3 Marathon Training!

I (Leigh) did something really special during the third week of marathon training, I spent some time with my bathroom. I guess it was some quality time before the two of us part with one another forever when we move on February 22nd (Sorry if that was TMI, I know some of you don't care when we are moving). There were times when I wish I had this toilet:

You can check Twitter on there, right?

Lexie, being the super Type-A lady that she is, got all of her runs in, and probably crushed each one of them. Even when there was snow-pocalyspe yesterday, she got out and did 4 miles (in the same amount of time it took me to do 3.1 miles, but I'm going to claim the weather got worse when I was out there). but, I shovelled twice which is worth 3 more miles.....at the very least.

Today marked our longest run to date, and also the longest run I have done since Niagara Falls Half-Marathon.

Today was long run day and we ran for Sherry. Here is a link to the post Lexie did, outlining what it's all about HERE. Running on the rough terrain left over from this weeks snow was tough, but I know for both Lexie and I, taking on look down at that bib on our jackets was all we needed to keep pushing to finish all 11 miles. Here are some post run pics. I promise we look happier than our legs feel.

Lexie suggested we take this picture with me standing a snow pile. I hate snow.
