I knew I would be tired so I ran right after school today. I just wanted a short run so I went 3 miles. No music. No show. Just running.

This is a blog about my journey through a marathon training program, and the support from friends. I hope to run Dam to Dam 1/2 marathon and perhaps even a full marathon sometime. Before entering this training I have never run more than about 3 miles without stopping. Join me as I journey through the physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychological limits of myself. I'm setting goals I never thought imaginable, achieving goals I always thought others were crazy for setting!
Let me guess...UUUUUGGGGGLLLLLYYYYYYY run. Sleep is vital to keep yourself healthy and ready to exercise successfully. I have had many of experiences on every level other than successful and am speaking from experience in this regard.
ReplyDeleteI have heard they are capping D2D at 8000 runners this year. Sign up as soon as you can, so you are committed :) What fall marathon are you thinking of doing?
Actually it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I just kept telling my mind that I was running 5 miles that day so I had a long way to go. That helped a little. I've had much worse runs, better ones, too, but much worse.
ReplyDeleteOK, I better get registered! Are they open yet?
You are seriously going to run a marathon with me??? Wait for my next post. I start official training on Monday.
I just checked the D2D website and registration is not open yet. I will keep checking and let you know when it opens.
ReplyDeleteI AM DEFINITELY SERIOUS!! I will run any marathon you want...the only caveat is not the weekend of Sept 12 or 19. I would strongly recommend a fall marathon as the weather is cooler and we can train through the summer (getting the longer distances in when it is warm makes race day feel like a breeze when it is cooler). Let me know what you decide. I know the Twin Cities Marathon opens this week and it is on Oct 4. Check out possible marathons at

Thanks. I may take you up on this! The first of Oct is the IWLA Conference so that is out.
