Twelve Weeks From Sunday
Sun Jan 13, 2008 at 10.21
Finally I have a goal; a motivation factor; a reason that I cannot make excuses. I will be running the Texas Marathon Half on April 06, 2008 in Dallas, TX. It should not be too difficult for me to complete the course tomorrow, but I want to complete the course competitively. Maybe that is the athlete in my speaking but considering this is an athletic event I think it is fine to listen to him.
Since I have twelve weeks for training, it only makes sense to follow a twelve week training schedule including two preparation races (the Armadillo Dash 2008 5K in College Station, TX and the Bayou City Classic 10K in Houston, TX) and significant amounts of time in the gym stretching and stengthening. After all, the core muscules become extremely important in distance running.
I am excited about this and welcome any supporting words of encouragement. Have a great Sunday!
