It has been a good week for training as far as commitment and consistency. I have logged 14.3 miles this week. However, I had hoped to be farther along the path toward my 13.1 (half marathon) goal. It seems as if my aging body is not able to back up my lofty goals. With the SunTrust looming on November 15th, the reality is that I am just not going to be ready to join my husband trainer coach friend. While I feel disillusioned, I also feel a renewed sense of commitment. Perhaps I won’t be ready when I had originally planned, but I will be ready.
There is a 5K coming up on October 11th that I will be running. Beyond that, I found an 8K on October 25th that benefits the READ center, a non-profit organization here in Richmond that help illiterate adults learn to read. That is definitely a cause I can support, so I am adding that to my calendar.
Join the injured club who won’t be competing. Jeff has hurt his ankle and can’t run two minutes on it without buckling in pain. Good for you that you realized that to push at this point would hurt, not help, your ultimate goal. And you WILL cross that line in March! I have faith in you 🙂
You’re doing great!!! 🙂
