Missed workouts on day 48 and 49. Day 48 was supposed to be a rest day while I didn't feel upto it yesterday. NB left for vacation yesterday. She gave me 'Marathon, You can do it' by Jeff Galloway as a Christmas present along with a panoramic jigsaw puzzle and lotttts of chocolates (bad idea!!!). Read the book's reviews - I hope I find it just as helpful.
Ok, now for my stupidity. I had lunch at noon, tea after that, was feeling hungry but went to the gym at 6.30 pm. So, of course I couldn't complete the 4 miles I had planned for today - Complete? I couldn't even start....Walked at 3.2 m/h to complete 1.5 miles in 27 mins. It was awful, my legs and ankles were aching as soon as I started. I don't know, I really have to look into this. If I eat 2-3 hours earlier than the workout, I tend to get side splits, if earlier than that, I am hungry - what should I do :(? Maybe something like eat a heavy lunch at noon and something light 2-3 hrs earlier than the workout, I don't know, have to figure this out....

I have been following your blog over the last seven weeks. Both GB and NB are making progress. Just keep at it and your body will adapt to the increasing mileage.
Here is a great site with a lot of information. I have used Hal Hidgons training schedules.

If you did not watch the PBS Nova marathon challenge, I would recommend watching.
