Its Sunday night, another week down & another one about to start. I’m going to call last weeks training successful. The highlight was getting my feet close to 100%, there’s still a little soreness but not too bad.
This next week of training will be the biggest (volume & intensity) week in prep for the marathon. I have 4 run workouts scheduled & none of them could go in the easy column, my long run for the week in 2:15. There’s also three swim workouts & three bike workouts 
Its going to be a busy one…
I had an “oh shit” moment this weekend. I wanted to get a better idea of the Las Vegas Marathon course online. The event web site has a couple different views of the course, a map, virtual video along with some charts & graphs. I have been training under the impression that the course was relatively flat therefor I haven’t been too worried about running hills.
While I was on the web site I saw the elevation profile, the first thing I saw was the elevation of the highest point 2,300 feet. Racing in the NW most of the starting elevations are from sea level to a few hundred feel. My stomach dropped thinking that I was about to race a marathon with 2,300 feet of climbing…then I noticed the starting elevation was 2,000 feet. Talk about relief!
