Since week 4 starts Monday, I've been having a few doubts as to whether or not I can reach my goal. It's been really tough getting out the door to log the miles. When I do log the miles, it's stop and go, some walking. I don't really know what to think. I should be running 6 or more miles already, but I can barely do 3 and feel extremely sore after 4.
Eating hasn't been much of a challenge. I've been doing well. That includes buying my veggies at the farmer's market and not eating out other than the occasional date with my pretty lady. I haven't yet eliminated everything that I need to, but it's a work in progress.
If anything gets me through this training, it's going to be the love and support from friends and family and being held accountable by my running mates. I sooooo did not want to run this morning. But I made a date with one of my running friends because I knew it was going to be hard for me to get out the door. It worked! Although, he pushed me this morning. We ran a lot faster than I had expected.. it was still a good run. The fact that I ran also made it worth it. I'm supposed to run again on Sunday, and I'm wondering if I should make myself do it, or make it a group run. I'm pretty confident that I'll be getting out the door Sunday to log the miles.
After Sunday's run, I'm moving to a run/rest schedule. Run a day, rest a day until I can get in my groove. December is really close. I start feeling a little anxious when I think about it. I realize it's 14 weeks away, but that time will fly.
