Check out our other runner in training, Hayden. "Please take me!"
So far training is going well. Usually I am in good shape when I start training, so things go fairly smooth. This year I am starting from scratch. Being a newly-wed (men are a full-time job, haha), getting a puppy, working full-time and working on my Masters in Taxation really took over this winter. My running dwindled down to sometimes only once or twice a week. Before that I'd been running marathons and training consistently for almost 8 years. So I'm ready and motivated to get fit and lose some of this post-wedding pudge. It's been challenging over the last month as I've gotten moving more and more. Mostly right now I am focusing on trying to be on my feet as long as I can. Sometimes that means just running 2 miles and then power walking 5. I feel comfortable walking/running for 2-3 hours at a time. It can be frustrating when I hit a certain landmark on my run, and I know I never used to be half that tired when I passed that intersection. Plus, I am soooo hungry and soooo sleepy all the time. I know that too will pass though. The struggle is half the fun and adventure. Hopefully each day I lace up I will make it further and further. Check out my new trail shoes and road shoes that came in today. Yay!
