got up this 9:30 am even though i went to bed at about 6am so that i could do a mini workout (abs, biceps, triceps, and some leg work and stretches). will try to hit the sack at about 12:30pm or 1pm. my legs are a little sore from yesterdays run but then again, i did walk an extra mile and a half (had to run some errands). while at the library, i printed out individual month calendars from May to Nov and two 18 week marathon training schedules. i've got the rest of may and june to workup my weekly mileage to 15. then the beginning of july, i follow the schedule (tweaked to fit my work schedule and to include weight training). if my legs can't handle at least a month of the training schedule, i will drop out of running the marathon and re-apply for 2011.
seems to me though, my motivation is now coming from sheer will. i hate being 44 and not feeling fit, being sore and injured. i want my fit body back and there isn't any age number that should keep me from this goal. numbers don't matter. i've been thinking alot about why i want to run the marathon. haven't come up with a solid reason other than wanting to run more than one in my life time...three is a good number...
