Without even really realizing it, this week was the first week of marathon training. This morning, I decided to really get down to business and train for the marathon. I had been training for a half-marathon, but since I was too late to register for Wine & Dine, I was training to run a half-marathon solo. But it’s time to buckle down and really think about the marathon, which is ultimately my real goal right now. After last year’s disappointing race, it’s time to go back for redemption!
I found Hal Higdon’s 18-week marathon training plan for novices. Since there’s only 17 weeks left until the race, I already completed my own week 1.
Week 1
Monday- 3 miles
Tuesday- 60 minute yoga class
Wednesday- Rest
Thursday- 5 miles
Friday- Rest
Saturday- 8 miles
Sunday- Rest
Total mileage- 16
Hal Higdon’s program will have me running 4 times a week instead of 3, and he only has 1 cross training day every week. I’m going to try and incorporate at least 1 day of yoga and 2 days of weight training.
Oh, and I also have to work around my schedule at my new job at Lululemon!
I feel so honored to be chosen to work for such an amazing company!
I’ll be spending the rest of today cleaning the house and visiting Magic Kingdom with a friend!
