This weekend Greg and I went to West Virginia for the weekend. We don't get to see each other all that often during the week since our schedules are kind of opposite (it's a I go to work at 8:30 AM, he often works until 9PM kind of life we lead) and the next few weekends will be pretty busy for us, so we rented a cabin and just enjoyed some time together.
While the lack of any defined running area, the 3 inches of snow, and the overall relaxed attitude of the weekend kept me from doing my long run this week (not so good) I did come home to my official registration email from the Pittsburgh Marathon (very good)! LIVING Ministry has officially registered all of its runners - including me! - for the 2013 Marathon!
Even though I've been training for a while and my heart was set on running the Half for the Ministry, this feels like the real deal now. My spot is secured and there is no turning back. 90 days until race day, here we go!
Take a look at what I'm running this week if you'd like to. I actually did this same program last week but used the elliptical on a hill climber setting to build up the cardio without pounding on my knees and ankles. Since I missed the long run and I didn't "run" the shorts either, I'll repeat this week.
Monday: Rest
Tuesday: 2.5 miles
Wednesday: Cross-train
Thursday: 3 miles
Friday: Rest
Saturday: 5 miles
Sunday: 20-30 run/walk or cross train
Thank you all for the warm words of encouragement. It really makes me feel great when I hear from all of you throughout the week! Keep them coming, it certainly helps to know how many people are supporting my goal!
