Had a rest day today, probably should have cross trained, but I'm following the rules to a 'T'. Urgh! It's so hard to follow the rules, to not over-train. I am chomping at the bit here!
So I did a little number crunching and if I follow this:
This plan would take until June to be done (If I start on March 13th.) I could be ready for a marathon by September. I'm choosing September because like hell I'm doing my first marathon in the heat of summer.
Time for another running n00b moment: Does anyone know what 'Quality' and 'Tempo' runs are?
I'm astonished, there has never been a time in my life where I have felt this empowered. Like I can do anything. Run superhuman distances? Sure. Be an astronaut? Fo' Sho'. Fly? Already on it. :)
I'm just so happy. Purely and innocently happy.
Anyway, enough of the sap, onto the plan.
Ze' plan is to keep everything on schedule for the 5k (which so far is going swimmingly well), race, design my own 10k podcast plan, finish that, find a race, then start training for a MOTHER-EFFIN-HOLY-FUCK-BALLS-I'M-ACTUALLY-GOING-TO-DO-THIS MARATHON!!!
:D
Woo Hoo! Happiness is a wonderful thing!
ReplyDeleteI want to fly too. And pretty sure I can do it. I just need to figure out that landing thing...
