My marathon training has officially begun. Today was the first day, and I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Sure, I've done five marathons already, but I didn't have a baby at that time. Finding the time and energy to get the training done will be a challenge.
I'm shooting for a 4-hour marathon again, but at this point, just finishing will be a success after my two year hiatus from marathoning.
I ran 10 miles last Saturday in preparation for marathon training. That was the longest I have run since I was eight months pregnant.
My training plan this week consists of:
Two easy 4 mile runs (today and Friday)
One 5 mile marathon pace run (tomorrow - we'll see how that goes trying to run at marathon pace with a baby jogger in front of you)
One 7 mile LSD (long, slow distance) run on Saturday
If I can pull this off, I'll officially rename my blog to Marathon Momma. Wish me luck!
