Since my foot got me off track for a bit, I needed a new plan to keep me motivated and goal oriented. I found a half marathon training program the Marathon Rookie website. I copied it over to a spread sheet and put in dates instead of Week 1, Week 2, etc. I like it this way because I seem to be able to visualize what is going on in my life during these months. This week is:
Monday: Rest
Tuesday 3 miles
Wed: rest
Thurs: 3
Friday: 3
Sat: Rest
Sunday: 4
So I did a bit more then 3 miles today, I did 3.24 in 38 minutes. The last half mile I felt really sick, like wanting to throw up sick. When I got back I saw it was 70% humidity. It had just rain and the temperature was 80, so steam was coming off the road and I guess it was hard for me to take. Luckily I was in my last half mile. I thought of George S. Patton, "....the body is always tired..."
And I guess I will see you tomorrow for my next 3.24 miles.
