Great news -- My base building has begun. I am just about four weeks away from the start of marathon training, and I basically plan on following the same format that I did for my last marathon (a modified Higdon intermediate plan). My training, as you know, has been less than desirable lately. BUT, I feel rested, and I'm ready to get my mileage back up into the 25-30 mile range to comfortably enter mary training.
There's a dumb joke in here somewhere...
You know what I'm most excited about, though? Really getting goal-oriented, and totally talking your eyeballs off about mileage and cross-training -- because that's what it's allllllllll about. I'm clearly excited about so many things, and one of them is training in the fall/winter. That'll be a first. And hopefully a blast...y'all know how much I love running in the cooler and cold temps! Like, a lot.:)

So, did you see THIS?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, guilty.:)
And yeah. This, too.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And a blog post here wouldn't be complete without something food related, so here ya' go. The best idea I've ever seen in my life. *BRAIN HUG*
And we should all avoid negativity. Get that out of your life, yo.

Well, Runner? What else do we do that annoys people that wasn't on the list?
Who's with me on the cupcake sammich? Because that's happening. Like soon.
How many miles a week do you keep in your off-season, or just regularly?
-I usually keep 20-25 mpw in the books.
PB FANS: Is there EVER too much PB? Or never enough?
Haha. Over the weekend, my sister was talking about people who take selfies and how narcissistic they are. Yep. Guilty. I don't consider myself a narcissist, but if the shoe fits...
ReplyDeleteYou take the BEST selfies, Wendy! Never change.:)
DeleteI agree with Tiffany, Wendy. You always manage to look great in all of your selfies. But please do not start taking them with your mouth open. Too many people do that and I simply do not understand it. Do they think it makes them look cute? :-)
DeleteI look forward to hear about your training. Hopefully one day I will run with you. By the way, the new LA Fitness on Pershing is open. So much nicer than South Loop.
ReplyDeleteThat gym is DIRECTLY behind my school! I'll see you there soon, friend! <3
DeleteCupcake sandwich - mind blown!!! And never enough PB (Justins Vanilla almond butter... have TOTALLY eaten an entire jar in a single sitting). And I like to be around 35-40 a week in the off season. :) Hope you have a fabulous Wednesday!!
ReplyDeleteNever is there ever enough nut butter. Never!
