17 weeks to go.
this week was hard… workout wise it was okay…

I ran intervals on sunday
i lifted weights on monday
I took a brutal spin class on Thursday
I ran 4 miles on Friday
I ran 8 miles today

But it is hard to get myself into the mindset that I am doing this again. That I have another part-time job called “Marathon Training” on my schedule every day.  I met with a friend of mine who graciously created my training plan for this marathon, and I left feeling very overwhelmed. I know I can run the 26.2 miles, I did that in January. But the question now becomes: Do I want to improve?

New phrases like 160-180 bpm and daily food diary are now a very real part of my life. I am very much looking forward to seeing how much my body is capable of… but I am still taking long, slow, deep breaths preparing myself for what is ahead.

I ran today. 8 miles. Add 18.2 to that, and I’m set!

until next week…
