Ok.. I have spent the last hour.. figuring out my running schedule and getting it all lined out.
I have posted it on the side bar :) so take a peek if you like .
My only question is how to up my miles on the 20 to 23.. the friend i have that runs marathons suggested to run atleast 23 miles before the race.. so i guess i will bump that up .. but i am not sure if i should bump all the other long runs up too.. and .. at which point. I will be emailing her again and asking :) will let you know ..
Some things that need to happen in the next month or so:
i am sore from yesterdays lifting.. and it feels GREAT!
This week is my double week camp so I will be working all day.. and on my feet all day.. I plan on getting bed early tonight so i can get up and run about 615 am.. before i go to art camp.. i know i wont feel like it afterward. Goal this week is to get through it without missing a workout.... I will need encouragement to do that for sure.. cause i will be exhausted probably and busy busy.. so you gals keep me accountable! If i am going to do this Marathon thing.. it has to begin now.. so i am not crawling across the finish line!
My Reasons Why: (not in any particular order)
I am praying this story ends well! click here
I hope your day is relaxing and restful!

Some things that need to happen in the next month or so:
- buy new shoes (1/2 larger than what i have now for the longer distance)
- figure out how to carry water and snacks with me on the run OR if to stash them and where.
- buy a new running bra(too much info? sorry.. but if you have a favorite brand.. please share.. .. i need a good one.. AND .. "all the support i can get" LOL
- figure out what sports drink i like that doesnt leave me cotton mouthed.
- register for the race
- find something to run in if rain -slicker??(i need to "practice"in all kinds of weather in case its rainy on race day)
- buy new running sunglasses

My Reasons Why: (not in any particular order)
- to prove to myself that i can
- to be an example of health and fitness to my kids
- to be an example of health and fitness to other Women.
- to see if i am strong enough to meet the challenge
- running these longs runs and the race will be a spiritual and physical experience. I know it will be some much needed conversations with God as i tread along :)
- to show that 40 years old and three kids doesnt equal stressed out, flabby, poor diet, and poor self image. But Lean, Fit, and a Positive self image.
- Because grew up watching iron mans and marathons on TV as have always been inspired by those who try.
- To run down a dream :)
