I am writing this today, b/c I just have to say God has been so good to me throughout my training. When I first signd up for my 2nd Marathon, I wasn't thinking ahead of the weather I'd be training in.
As all of Indiana knows, this winter has almost been freakish. We've had barely any snow, cold weather, etc. I have been so blessed. I truly believe God has been looking out for me, what else could i be? We have been so lucky to experience this beautiful weather in Jan/Feb...
Its now pretty much time for me to start tapering my runs, today is a 12 miler for me and after that will be a few short runs then Race Day in 10 days! I can't believe this race has come so much more quickly than Chicago did. I feel so much more ready, yet have run fewer longer runs. I learned during training for Chicago that I did too much later in training and ended up with major IT band issues on raceday and a start of Plantar Fasciatis (spelling). This time arond I got diferrent type of shoes and made sure I watched my training, diet etc.
I feel so much more at tune with my body and the way it is performing. It's like running is my body's second nature now and is a great feeling to be at.
ANNOUNCEMENT: So happy for my dad who has signed up for his first Ironman in Louisville, KY...he's going to rock it and I can't wait to be a part of his training and see him go through this journey. He will be blogging about his training and I'll post a link soon so anyone can follow his too...
Happy Training Day to anyone who is or should be taking advantage of this beautiful weather outside....
XOXO
