Today wrapped up week two of marathon training: eighteen more to go! Yippee! This week went well overall, though I did miss one 40 minute run. Surprisingly, though, I did fit in two days of cross training and the "long" run. And, really, I think I was okay with missing the 40 minute run because I did not take Sunday off, which is supposed to be a rest day. So, it's all good. I'm most definitely still on track.
I'm really feeling like I need to run this marathon and get back into shape. Taking so much time off because of the back/leg injury set me back quite a bit. In fact, I felt so weak in the pool yesterday. It was ridiculous! Other than feeling out of shape and flabby (yuck! can't stand that feeling!), post injury-wise, I'm doing just fine. The mileage is so easy right now, though, so it's been a nice, gentle, steady incline.
Even though the training is going well and I'm feeling like I can handle the challenge of the training; I'm so afraid to register! I DO NOT want to back out of another marathon again. So, I'm going to wait just another month, or so. Just to be sure. Because I don't like the idea of giving up on a goal and throwing money away. At the same time, though, I definitely don't want the race to fill up! That would be crushing, to say the least.
What to do? What to do?
