So, todays run went really well. It was after all my first solid run in over a month and my first run outside since November. Even the 7:20 pace didn't seem to take that big of a toll on me until I hit 2 1/2 miles. (that where I took my only walk break) All in all, it felt great to get outside and lace up the shoes. Now I just have to get consistent with my training. I'm shooting for the Conquer the Cove trail marathon here in Roanoke on the 5th of June. This will be the first trail marathon for Roanoke and I'm excited to give it a go, I just have to discipline myself to train. So here is goes. I've got 5 months to hit several goals. 1) Consistently hit a 7 min training pace, 2) lose at least 15 pounds, (I'm currently pushing 165, which is too far gone from the 140 I was when I was coaching cross country and track) 3) get to the gym 3 times a week for strength training.
I'll try to do better about blogging to so that I can at least have a record of this attempt good or bad. If I can get myself through this next 5 months and stick to my plan and survive I'd like to try and ultra in the fall just for kick. Why not?
