Training for the Half

Well,  I have to say....so far the hardest thing about training for the 1/2 marathon in May was making the commitment!  I have been feeling pretty good overall and have consistently been running 5 days a week, increasing my mileage by only 10% but I have been increasing it consistently.

I have been all consumed with reading everything I can about running, racing, fueling the body, training properly, etc., etc.  I've even pulled out special stetching and receipes ideas.

This past week I feel as though I'm now more or less in to a routine.  The only real changes will be getting back outside AND increasing my long runs.

Through this entire process I have to say I have the most AMAZING husband!!!  He is extremely encouraging and will bend over backwards to help me with EVERYTHING!!  I haven't asked him to do anything but he sees something needs to be done, and does it!  It has really helped me to stick to my plan!!  So THANK YOU babe for making it easier for me to accomplish this goal!

I'm continuing to balance the things in my life so I can train BUT I'm also trying to study in the areas of my passions.  This is my next goal for this month!  If I set the goal and have a plan in place, then I know things will get done!!!

Until next time!
