No running today as we have family visiting from out of town. I finanlly put together my training schedule for the next 13 weeks leading to the JFK 50 miler. I've taken it too easy since my last race - 50K on 8/2. I'll start back into my training mode tomorrow.
I've spent the last 4 weeks floundering so I can't even begin to say how excited and relieved I am to have a schedule once again. I'm not sure what it is about having a schedule but it always motivates me to get out the door. I think it is just the fact I know I have a direction and a plan.
I just found this site and I'm going to pass the link on to my friends. What I like most about good friends is the fact they feel perfectly comfortable chewing you bum if you miss a training run due to the case of the lazys. Yes my Elvis bobble head race partner, you know I'm talking about you.
If you folks out in blog land can lend any support or provide helpful advice than please do. Somewhere between now and November 22 I will inevitable fall into a "why am I doing this" slump. It's just nice to have someone else say "it's OK, now shut up and run!"
So tomorrow I've got an easy 20 miler on my schedule to start my training. I'm going to take it easy just so I can prove it to myself that I've not slipped too far back in my training.
Happy running friends! |
