Things are still going well. I'm finding my greatest lesson learned so far along this journey is that even when I don't feel like running, I do it anyway, and I never regret it! I'm saying that just about 3 weeks into the training - I'm still "on track" - still doing what I need to do every day. I'm a very Type A kind of gal, so a daily routine is good for me. School and activities are over now for both kids and I'm happy that the only commitment I really have is to playing with them all day long, then running when Daddy comes home! Summer has arrived!
This week I did some speed work and the 4-hour marathon is seeming more possible than ever before!
Our Ragnar team went out for a very belated post-race celebration Wednesday night and just being around the team gets me pumped to continue training hard. One of the guys on our team even commited to running the Hartford Marathon this fall! So Greg and Kim are going to do their first marathons and I'm determined to be there for them at Mile 20 - I can not wait!
I'm also making plans to run the Hartford Marathon on a 5-gal relay team - we did it last year, it was an amazing experience, and I look forward to doing it again. This time with additional runners so we can hang out at the exchange points together. Should be so much fun!
Now I'm working on finding new and fun routes for my long runs since I'm getting sick and tired of running along the trail I run just about every time!!! And I'm working on doing these runs with friends. It's all coming together, and I'm happy to find kindred spirits who want to sweat it out together. Really thankful God has given me many friends who love running!
