I guess I like the structure that training for a marathon gives me. Without it, I don't think I could motivate myself to get my runs is, and MAN am I motivated. I know I would have been dead meat in Phoenix if I hadn't trained, and yet I know there is more I can do. Right now, I know I'll be in San Diego on June 6 for the San Diego Rock 'N' Roll Marathon, and I am entered into the lottery for the New York Marathon in November.
I am now starting the second week of my 16-week training grid for San Diego. It is a much more aggressive plan than the beginner plan I used for Phoenix, and I am hoping to improve my time. The first week didn't go that well. Work and the weather were tough to manage, but it is a base to start from and I'll be able to improve upon it. I can't wait until daylight savings time starts in a couple of weeks, which will give me more time in the evening. It will also be helpful when it warms up past 13 degrees.
Today is
speedwork, and I hope to get it in when I get home from work.
