Hey, there’s a new issue of iRun out! It’s the Marathon Issue. This seems like an appropriate time to mention that I’m at it again – I am training for another marathon.
Maybe the smart thing to do would be to take more time, you know, maybe take a year off from training just to build base and strength. Get to the point where a “normal” week for me includes a lot more mileage than it used to, and I don’t want to cry during boot camp anymore.
But after my first marathon that was a complete disaster, and my second which I didn’t even finish, I’m a bit like a dog with a bone. I just can’t drop the idea. I feel like I’ve got something to prove to myself, even though I am not really sure what. If I figure it out, I will let you know.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not like a fly at a window who just keeps bashing into the glass over and over – I am trying new things that will hopefully help. I’ll share some of the more interesting (to me, anyway!) stuff with you over the next little while. I am also really excited about the new blogs here at iRun because they’ll be a great help – they’re not all listed there yet, but keep checking back! I will be!
Good for you Karen! I wish you the best of luck with your training and I am sure your next marathon will be a more pleasant experience.
you CAN do it Karen!! And I’m looking forward to hearing about your journey as you train 🙂
I’m looking forward to your second marathon finish.!!! We’ll all be cheering you on, or running with you !!!
