The Schedule is Set!
Okay, the schedule is set.
That's right ... the goal now has a deadline.
I have published my running calendar here:
Marathon 2007.
Of course you'll be able to read the updates and see the statistics on this blog.
I am going with a "novice" approach to the marathon. While I have been running for quite some time now, I realize that I tend to do too much, too fast. This schedule allows me to ease up the mileage again and avoid the injury and pressure I felt last time trying to tackle an intermediate schedule.
I'll update the schedule as I train.
For cross-training I'll either swim or ride my bike and have no set amount of calories to burn or schedule. For weight training it is again more of "by instinct" and I'll either jangle, do a yoga session, or hit the local clubhouse and actually lift.
I'm excited to have a schedule in place. The running hadn't concerned me at all, however. What I was going to post was that "My greatest challenge will be nutrition." Then I realized, how, if that's what I expect, then that's what I'll get! So this time, forget it. Let it go. It won't be a challenge. I will be 100% focused and choose not to let it be a challenge. I will break 200 pounds by the marathon (imagine how much easier it will be to run 26.2 with 15 pounds less weight per footfall!).
Here we go!
