Trying to be about this 5 a.m. workout life

Good news!! I woke up and hit the Track this a.m. Bad news I didn't meet the group I wanted to run with. I remember a time when I use to get up and go work out in the early a.m. with no problem. Now I have to drag myself out the bed. Many time I roll over and hit the alarm and go back to sleep. So my goal is to get back to working out in the a.m.. I still will attend my group evening run on Mon/Wed. Sooooo what do I do now since I'm full of energy? I have no clue. The house is clean. Guess I'll make my workout regimen for the week or month. Goal for today go get a pedicure, manicure and brow done. Now that's sound relaxing. Happy Running

It's the simple thing in life

I have a confession to make. Every since I've started running, I have become fascinated with cool, ass funky socks!! I ordered these for my birthday along with some other ones!
Happy Running!!

Day 4

It was a rough day for me. I had intention on getting in a early a.m. run ;but didn't move once the alarm went off. By the time came for me to meet my running group, I almost canceled then too. But considering the run coordinator text me saying she wasn't coming O_o ;I had to push aside my tiresome and get up and go. They say the hardest part is getting started or to the destination. But once I got started, I'm thankful I went. I forgot my Garmin so I couldn't track my time. I guess it didn't matter because I actually ran with a new member to our group. We did 3.17 miles. Now tomorrow I will attempt to get up and hit the pavement solo. I have 3 miles schedule. I am going to trying to follow this running schedule. Happy running!

I'm Training for a Marathon!!!

I've really been in shoe deep with this running thing!! lol. From Jan until the end of the year I have a race every month. I've done 5k, 10 miler and Half Marathons, Warrior Dash. Guess what I'm schedule to run a MARATHON before the end of the year!! I'm also A HALF FANATIC!!! Yes I did that. I became a Half Fanatics by running 3 half's in 22 days. Although the requirement is to run 2 half in 16 day or 3 in 90. As I think back I've always said I will never run a Marathon. I guess I need to be careful with saying what I never will do,uh? I'm excited, nervous, unsure, nervous, concern etc. Yes I'm experiencing all of these emotions. But guess what I have 22 weeks to get over these emotions and learn about my body, training etc. I know it's about getting mentally prepared. I have to get serious about training running 26.2 miles learning what to eat while running and staying hydrated. Wow I have a lot to learn. So the only way to stay focus is document my training. The training I think I will do is Hal Hidgon Novice 1 plan. Although I'm thinking about the Galloway. I think I will have a hard time with the run walk program. I've heard good things about both program. I even thought I would run the first 13.1 straight and then switch over to Galloway run walk for the second half. This week is week one! 22 weeks of Discipline Happy Running!!
