Life got in the way and blogging wasn't something that came naturally. I decided to restart because...I signed up to run a marathon and thought I should document the experience.
I signed up for the Huntington Beach "Surf City" Marathon on February 7th, 2010.
I've been running since I completed the Couch to 5k (minus a few months here and there due to an ITB problem). I haven't run distance though. I've recently started running at least 4 times a week between 1.75 and 3.75 miles each run. I am working on doing a minimum of 15 miles a week until my official training starts in October. At that point I will be starting the Non-Runners Marathon Trainer. I bought it a few weeks ago. It's based on a "Marathon Class" offered by an Iowa university for beginning runners. It's 16 weeks and focuses on MENTAL training along with physical training.
So, this week's goals =
Think Positive!
Use, "but it doesn't matter." whenever I come up with some reason why it's too hard to run that day (or anything else that seems too hard in life). This is from the book.
Run a minimum of 15 miles.
6 weeks until training!
