Welcome mom23kgirls! I walked for a long time before I ever considered running.
Happy to have you posting here.


I rest 2 days every week whether marathon training or not. I take Mondays and Fridays off. The Monday is especially important for recuperating from the Sunday long run. Too much pushing yourself without adequate rest = injury (forced rest).

10 miles in. Temps in the upper 50s. Perfect.

Rest days are your STRENGTH days .. yeah, I know, sounds weird, but its true. When you rest, your body RECOVERS and gets stronger. HONEST.

Then I'm going to be one STRONG little lady the next time I run. Today was supposed to be my 2nd session for the week (I start my weeks on Sunday), but life happened and I didn't get to it. I am ashamed... I could have squeezed it in at about 7:00 this evening, but I was too tired. I can't let this screw up the rest of my week.

Since Thanksgiving of last year, I have had such a hard time being consistent with exercise. I don't know where my discipline has gone. The good news is, that so far, I really do like running! Honestly, never in a million years did I ever think I would be interested in or enjoy running. True, I am in the infant stages of doing it, but I am very happy that I like it enough to pursue it further.

FRIDAY, APRIL 18TH

Today I was supposed to complete Session 3 of Week 2, but I have been fighting a cold since last night. I'm going to lay off today, in hopes of keeping the sickness at bay. Putting lots of Zinc gel in the nose - it works!

I had an easy 4 miles tonight. This is my taper week for my first half marathon next weekend (my first!) so I'm anxious to have fresh legs for that. It does feel weird to not be pushing it though.
