Today I did one of Galloway's Mile tests and I am on track for a 4:20 finish. Since I need 4:30 to qualify, it is kind of tight but I ran my fastest mile test this morning so perhaps my margin will increase a bit more. It has been a great week. Cooler weather and a programmed in 'easy' week made for a nice group of training days. Since work was unusually hectic, this was good timing.
With the Olympics starting, I hope to get plenty of inspiration for the remaining weeks of training. Next weekend is my 26 miler and I am hoping for cool, cloudy weather. We have had day after day of thunderstorms and just plain rain here. I have been fortunate in that my runs have always seemed to get in just before it starts to pour.
As I look at my schedule for the next two months, I realize it will be hectic but I am determined to maintain my training. October 5 is not that far away.

Yay mom! A 10-minute BQ buffer is ideal, because it gives you a significant amount of leeway for extra walking breaks. (My goal at Portland was 10 minutes under BQ.) When I crashed and burned in the late miles (stupid pacing mistakes on my part) it was so good to know I could afford a few walking breaks and still qualify.
