Training Check-in/Encouragement Thread

Don't be discouraged. We always have that one race that nags us. You'll be fantastic.

I'm not worried about PR at WDW marathon. It will be my first whole so I'll PR! I started running at 43. I was 100 pounds heavier most of my life. If I cross the finish line before balloon ladies I'll be happy. That being said, I did pick up a training club "Essentials of long distance running" to work on my speed as well as my form. Its a 10 week program. I hope it improves my 12:30 average time.

That being said I did my first 5 miles post 2 months of for abdominal surgery and I'm hurting today.

You'll do great! I, however , am getting nervous about being ready for my first 1/2 at Cocoa Beach. I just can't get into a training rhythm. I'm also sad that my time for the 10K in Jan was so lousy because it really won't help me for the 2016 corral placement in the 1/2. Then again I'll probably be so slow it won't matter.

After the two 1/2s I think I'm going to stick to lower distances. The longer ones stress me too much.

Just back on my feet Sunday after the surgery. I'm a week behind in training. But I will catch up. I'm using the Galloway training guide and sticking to kickboxing for X Training.
