I'm planning on registering for a half-marathon in August, and I'm contemplating registering for a full marathon in the second half of October. I'm waiting to see where I'm at with my endurance after the Italian honeymoon, though, before I decide whether or not to make it 26.2 miles or 13.1 in October. The next few weeks are really crucial to laying a solid training base if it's going to be a full marathon.
This next week I'd like to run at least 15 miles in four runs and get in one yoga class. Ideally, that will break down like this:
Monday: 3.5 miles
Tuesday: 3.5 miles
Wednesday: yoga
Thursday: 3 miles
Friday: 5 miles
Saturday & Sunday: rest
If you're a runner and you're on Daily Mile, you should friend me there. I'd also love to know what running and fitness blogs you enjoy reading!
I don't have a running blog because I'm lazy but my awesome friend does:

Thanks! I'm checking it out right now!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new blog and good luck on the defense! Cute layout!
ReplyDeleteExcited to follow your running bog :) Looks like an awesome running week! I'm hoping to at least get in a few 2.5-3 milers this week, but we'll see how out of commission I am after boot camp tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elena! Your bootcamp sounds intense! Good luck with it and with getting in a couple of runs this week!
ReplyDeleteWow, I am totally impressed with your running schedule and your ambition, both race-wise and blog-wise. It makes me want to get up and go for a run AND eat a veggie cheeseburger on my couch while I read about you going for a run. Win-win!
ReplyDeleteAlso, you are an integral member of our cool clique, even though running marathons kind of makes you too accomplished. I will just have to deal with that.
Hi there! I actually ran my first half marathon in January with little training. It was terrible! I have now finished five half marathons and I am training for my first full marathon. I am looking forward to reading more about your running journey:)
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous...Honeymoon in Italy! You better take lots of pictures and post them in your blog:)
@D-Meds, your comment totally made my morning!
ReplyDelete@Julie, I ran the last half that I did without being sufficiently trained, and it made such a difference in how much (or rather how little) I enjoyed the race. Good luck with training for your first marathon!
Found this through your other blog and I'm excited to follow. I just started training for my first half and I'm very excited!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you!
