Chapter 2 page 573–YIKES!

As I announced on Thursday, I’ve jumped into the deep end of the pool by registering for 4 half marathons between July and October.  Tonight . . . I created the training plan to help me get there (check it out HERE).

New training plans have always been exciting and like a breath of fresh air . . .this one, though, is causing anxiety and panic.  It might have to do with I’ve been running 0-9 miles/week and starting Monday I’m heading straight into 13 miles and up from there. 

I think I can!  I think I can!  I think I can!  I think I can!  I think I can!

Here’s hoping that you’ll stay on board with your support for the next 25 weeks!  We can do this together, right?!?!

What are you training for?

  3. You are totally capable of rocking not only the half marathons, but also kicking butt and taking names as far as the training is concerned. I have faith that you will do fantastic and I can't wait to see how you do!

    I have two halves this fall, but starting in June I will begin my marathon training, until then I am taking an unofficial break. I plan to run, but not going to push distances and such. Of course, that all depends on what I find out from the doctor on Wednesday.

  4. You go girl...I am also running/training for a half in September...so right now I'm right about 8.5 miles on my long run day and 3-4 on my shorter days...looks like you are doing great! I have a 5 mile race on Saturday May 12th with my 16yr old son Jacob so that should be a fun run! I am currently looking for another race or two before my long race in September!!!
