Still Training...

I figured I better check in and say hi amidst the Marathon Training!

I have not posted although I have still been reading all of your blogs daily!

My life consists of work, running and strength classes with a lunch or dinner with friends thrown in there (oh and a meeting here and there!).

I am over halfway through this marathon training and I have so many emotions already - I know WHEN I cross the finish line I am going to cry like a baby!

This is a lot of time, effort and determination (there are sooooo many days that I want to skip me training run and I have had to miss family things due to a long run begin on my schedule!)  HA HA

I know, once it is over I will be sooooo happy that I accomplished this but I do not think I will ever train for another one! I have great runs where i feel amazing and I know I have this and then there are crappy runs where I think I will never cross the finish line on race day! HA

Here is the completed runs so far (they are check marked on my chart below).

I am sooooooooooooo excited about race day!! It seems so far off most of the time but then when I have a bad training run it feels like I do not have enough time to train before the race - HA - mental games!

I know I have done posts on it before but I truly LOVE LOVE LOVE my Strideboxs that I get every month!!! It is only $15 a month and they have been awesome every month!!!

I will post tomorrow on what came this month in my box!!

Happy Thursday yinz!! We are almost there - Friday is soon!!!!!!!!!

Marathon Training Day 3

Marathon Training Day 3...

Yesterday was a great day!

I love that I am training for the marathon but I do not want to miss my regular Zumba, HipHop and BodyPump classes because of it. My instructors all rock and the energy of the classes is amazing!!! I have had to modify my schedule instead...there will be no more TV in my future except on weekends - HA!!!
