I've caught the blog bug... which really just means I'm bored at work and my friend Rebecca showed me this site. While she blogs about chasing her dream of becoming a world-famous conductor, I decided I will blog about chasing...nothing. Well not exactly. My goal is to chase without stopping for 26.2 miles. :) I'm signed up to run the Marine Corp Marathon at the end of October, and I figure this will be a fun way to document my experience! Officially, training doesn't begin until sometime in July (I really should figure that out), so until then here is my plan...
1) Build up my running base. I'd like get in the habit of running 4 times a week. Additionally, I want to start this training program feeling like a 10-mile run is "no big deal."
2) Get back into yoga. I used to love doing yoga. Now it feels like a chore, but I know how good it is for me when I just make it a regular part of my routine. Friends - I will need your help making this one happen.
3) Magically become a "normal" eater. This will be the toughest. I want to be healthy but not insanely restrictive (or insanely out of control). Balance balance balance! But honestly, I need to eat well, otherwise I'm probably going to have an "accident" on an 18-mile long run. No thank you.
Sounds simple enough right? ;)
I'm leaving Monday for the League of American Orchestras Conference in Dallas - fly back Friday - Sarah's wedding on Saturday - Patti's baby shower on Sunday- then it is GAME ON!
Stay tuned.
I'm right there with you girl! Kind of...I won't be running as far as you, but I've gotta get back into training for the half at the end of September. Let's decide on a yoga class at Midtown we can both take, shall we?
ReplyDeleteEating "normally" will be difficult for the both of us seeing as we have an obsession with peanut butter and cookies, regardless of whether the cookies are frozen or not. We can do it though!
