Marathon Training: Week 1

you didn't know I was training did you?

I'm torn about whether or not i actually am...technically i am... but not really.

so what am i doing? i coaching a future marathoner.. which means, I'm running all of her long distance runs with her. that by default means I'm training for a marathon too right?

except, i'm not sure if i'm ready to take the plunge and sign up for it... if I do run one it will be the Grand Rapids Marathon, mostly because I had planned that as my Fall Half.

I need to rework the schedule if I do commit because mine would be considerably earlier than my clients which means I need to hit the distance a wee bit harder than she does.

God.. am I drinking the Kool-Aid?!

  3. I think sometimes it's just impossible to be sure about that distance. I just signed up, and I'm adjusting my running and mental toughness around it. I'm still pretty much in a panic about it, but it's going to happen. I think if you give yourself an out, it's a lot less likely to happen.
