I have singed up for the Portland marathon on October 4th 2014. I will say that I did complete the Seattle half it was a walk not a run but it was completed. That is not the goal I have for the Portland marathon. I want to do it like for real run the whole way and check the marathon off my list. I got the idea to do this when I was thinking about doing a full Ironman. I was thinking that it might be wise to conquer the marathon first before I bite off a goal of an Ironman. So when my boss sent me a link to sign up for the Portland half marathon.... I just clicked the full button and not the half I thought why not. I have taken time off from the training world and I need to get back at it. I need to have something to blog about trust me my "normal" life is too boring to share. I need some accountability to keep my butt in gear.
This week's training:
Monday: Rest Day Its the first week of training so I will be doing a gym activity of sorts swimming or lifting.
Tuesday: 2 mile run
Wednesday: 3 mile run
Thursday: 2 mile run
Friday: Rest
Saturday: 5 mile long run. Rest day
Sunday: Walk 30 mins. I will be doing a race with my Mother and Aunt in Spokane that is 7.4 miles I believe, so this will be the long run for the week with a rest day on Monday. I am out of shape so this will be a run walk combo. As some of my runs will be until I get back up to my old running self.
I have not had any real motivation on this front I just think of this a goal far out in the distance this will truly be a big test fro me to see if I can stick to this plan and get ready for a full blown marathon. Here goes nothing.
