so far, so good…i made my decision to run a marathon a week ago, and since then i have logged 90 minutes of running in 6 days. amazingly, i even managed to get up at 8 am saturday to go for a run. i figure this is goodbye to sleeping in on the weekends and hello to running being more important than sleeping. i’m not so big into the mileage, as i am into keeping track of my time, mainly because i haven’t calculated my mileage…too much work. but this is a huge step for me, since i haven’t ran this much in over a year. shin update: on a pain scale of 1 to 10, (10 being ‘please cut my legs off cause it would hurt less’) they’ve been at about 4.35, which is very good for me. josh told me to run on asphalt instead of concrete, and that’s made the biggest difference in the world. i’ve already received so many words of encouragement from friends & family which are really helping me stay focused. i’m still on a mission to get a friend to join me……
my countdown:
215 days until San Diego. oh my goodness, that’s A LOT of days and A LOT of miles to run.
