I have decided to have October as my fun-play month! This month is about exercising when the passion hits me. Its actually quite amazing how much fun a run is when there is no pressure on time or distance. I need to remember how to hold onto this feeling when the winter and the long distance hits! November the training and mental preparedness starts! Oh yeah my January is going to be a blast full of 26-29K runs! whoop! whoop! Bring on the New Year's resolution peeps to run with me.... Hill training starts in January too! Best time of year for it- at least I won't have to worry that it will be too hot for hills. I recently started up kickboxing although I have been sidelined this last week due to an accidental kick to the hand. I love it and in my inspirational moments of getting out for one of those non committal runs I have found the kickboxing warm up to have been a HUGE help to my running and not losing anymore stamina.
Today was commitment day to figuring out my schedule. I have learnt that my body responds well then crashes so I am taking advantage of the extra weeks I am putting into my training calendar and giving myself rest weeks (novel idea). I believe I have a manageable training program ready to go.... official start is Oct 30th!
My plan is to blog about my adventures on training for this Marathon experience!!! please as my friends help keep me in line! Yes a nudge and a full out shove may be required during this process....
