Gotta love #50 nice round number.
Starting weight 273
Current weight 161.8
pretty close to same as last week. So hows that for maintance
I have my first race of the season this weekend. Half Marathon Saturday Morning( will be my second half..only goal just do better time wise..lol). I am ready for it.
However I am scared about the next one. Its a full (26.2 miles) in 3 weeks and I just dont feel like I am there yet. I had several set backs in February and early March, injury issues I had to let completly heal which got my whole training schedule out of wack. I am really debating doing that April full as a half and scheduling another race as a full. I feel a bit of a failure doing that but at the same time I could really injure myself pushing a 26.2 race when I am not fully ready. I have till the day before to make that call so I am going to take every bit of that time to deside. I am just so very torn over it. Will see how the next 2 weekends long runs go and and go from there I guess.
PS I really want this cold ikky weather to be gone. It depresses me after a while and its been going on for months.
Girl I want to shake you! lol... Stop being so hard on yourself. The Rock n Roll Raleigh is on your bandiversary... Half...Full...whatever. Could you have IMAGINED in your WILDEST dreams a year ago that you could run 5 miles much less 13?
ReplyDeleteTake your time and don't push yourself harder than you can handle. Listen to your body!
You are amazing!
Aww girl. thanks I think I am going to back it down to a half and try to do the Fayettevill All American in May. I had said no to it bc Matt will be gone and I wanted my family to be there for the first full and that fact Id have to pull a HOLLEE and be up early...SUPER EARLY for a Sunday. Race starts at 7 anf Fayettlevilles over an hour from my house when there arent parking issues But I can do it and those extra couple weeks will mean all the difference
DeleteSpring is coming and with the good weather things will seem so much better! And like Hollee says, YOU ARE AMAZING! I cannot even imagine doing a 5k let alone anything longer. The fact that you are even thinking about a full marathon is a feat in itself. Proud of you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica. I think I am going to do the April race as a half and do the All American in May. it will give me a few more weeks and if nothing more will calm my nerves as I know I will have more miles under me by then. Thanks for following me I love your comments and so enjoy follwoing your blogg too. You will Rock your band/sleeve/bypass ( which ever one you deside on... BTW I have band with the plication like Hollee was talking about a couple days ago.
DeleteI think you're making a great choice. By the time May comes around, you are going to dominate the action like you do everything else! :)
