I’m back! I love over sharing here, because as silly as it may seem, this little blog holds me accountable. I haven’t been here since December and truth be told I haven’t been doing good.
After the NYC Marathon I pretty much fell of the wagon. Over indulged during the holidays, gain weight, stopped running and failed miserably at the Disney Marathon.
After Disney I tried to get back on track. I lost the lottery for the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler. My favorite local race! So I signed up for the Potomac River Running Trainning Progam that included a race bib. This is when I noticed my Jekyll & Hyde problem ha! One week I do great and the next week I do awful. Can’t seem to stick to the plan, it’s up and down all the time!
I’m 2 weeks away from race day and I know I’m in trouble of being pulled out of the course. That will be devastating, but hey, I asked for it.
So I’m back to what worked before. Coming here and having something to talk about works. Because if I don’t write it means that I haven’t been doing good.
Don’t get me wrong, running shouldn’t be work. Running needs to be fun otherwise why do it! I’m still having fun. I just run the DC Rock’nRoll Half Marathon and it was a blast! I’ll tell you all about it soon. But I do want to stick to my training plan and get better!
So here I am! Let’s see if sticking to this blog throws Jekyll out of the picture… wait is he the bad guy? Or is it Hyde? Dude I can’t remember…
I’m not well trained for cherry blossom, either, if it makes you feel any better! Time for both of us to get out of our slumps.
Plans are tough, especially for all us amateurs with normal lives to manage! I think as long as you cover a good 80-85% of the race distance a couple of times in training then set out slow – you’ll be fine. Though if you want know for certain, speak to a professional!
