I have successfully signed up to begin my journey to complete on of the items from my make it happen list - to run a marathon in 2012. I signed up to run the Marine Corps Marathon, on October 28, 2012! I am super excited and soo looking forward to training and working towards this goal.
I will be posting my training schedule on here as soon as I have it completed. I plan to do a lot of my long training runs with running groups/ friends in DC. I am looking forward to meeting other people on this journey as well. I will also becoming up with fun marathon meals to be posted for your enjoyment.
My first few pieces of advice if you are planing to run a marathon as well:
- DO NOT by any means skip one of your long runs:
- Make sure you continue to cross train while you run to reduce your risk of injury
- I suggest yoga, the stairmaster, the elliptical, and any aerobics or low weight training classes that you might like at the gym
- HYDRATE :)
Here is a picture of me and my buddies from my first marathon at the 1/2way point
