Training Log: 12 Weeks to go...week 1 of training...again

Twelve Weeks to Marathon

Do or Die point

If you are going to run a marathon....you should give yourself AT LEAST twelve weeks to train.....it is time to step it up and start training...FOR REAL this time:-)

Update...training has been less then stellar, but like it states above, it is do or die time and I am choosing to DO!...I reconfigured my training schedule and I need to put away this silly mental block and hit the road. Pray for me! I need it! I want this season of training to teach me about perseverance, discipline, and striving towards a goal.....what I really need is someone to make sure I wake up at 6am to do my runs!!! (Anyone? Buller? Want to be my alarm clock???)

Other updates: Chicago summer...FANTASTIC! I love the lake, I love biking the city, I love the festivals, and I love hanging out with new friends! Such a blessing to see how my life has transformed in the past 12 months:-)

School update: I have applied fro grad school...I should find out in 4 weeks. Time to take advantage of the this season of life and get my masters.....I'm scared but excited and hope to grow a lot in my writing and maybe even get published!!!...we'll see

Last update: social...I'M GOING TO LONDON!!!!!! I found really cheap tickets for the first week in November and jumped all over them...you don't have to ask me twice:-)

.....not sure if anyone reads this blog....but for those of you who do, I appreciate it a lot....It makes me feel connected:-) I love you all, you are great!

Wish I could commit to being your 6am alarm clock. But alas, I have morning issues of my own.... :)
