The last thing on my "to do" list on Friday was to check the mail before I headed to visit my folks for the weekend. Inside there was a package, a package that made my heart jump...it had arrived. The cherry on top that made this crazy journey a reality, it was my Austin Marathon training shirt. I am so excited and of course, it's super cool (okay, maybe not but it looks that way to me).
My 10 miler on Saturday wasn't noteworthy except that I survived it feeling pretty good. I ran on the road my parent's live on, named after my grandparents. The going was easy the coming back was into the north wind and slowed me down. 5 1/2 laps and I was done.
I also found out it's official now that my Dad will be running with me in the half marathon next month. I can't tell you how excited I am about that. I think he'll leave me in the dust pace wise but after discussion I have the edge on endurance.
I am concentrating now I really creating a healthy training routine. Really nailing the right foods, getting rid of the processed crud, monitoring my sleep (sorry if that means I can't do much in the evenings late) and resting. It's crunch time people and I can't tell you how great it feels.
