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!!

You’re not a failure until you stop trying.

As I came across this qutoe, it made me reflect on all the things I have tried not to fail at. I'm no longer looking at it as failure, I'm just tried of trying. I no longer have an ounce of fight in me, no longer have the desire to keep going and I no longer see me growing old with you. I have stop trying, closed off my heart and disconnceted myself from you. I choose to keep my eyes open and mind clear. I have given you too many chances and each chance you've lied and continue to live how you live. So I've made the choice for you. I'm going to give you the life you don't have the ball to step into and give up the life I was too afraid to leave. 2013 Strength, Courage, Wisdom, Preparation and Independence Moving forward

Back to school

I started back to school on Monday. Although, I'm excited I'm feeling overwhelm ,and exhausted. I'm still going to have a positive outlook on this. I just need to learn their way of doing things. I will be successful! I need to get balance by, setting up a block schedule, and list everything I have going on for the day. I feel my bed time need to be 9. It will be at 9..lol. I just woke up from my nap from earlier and about to lay it down again. Good night!
