Another Month...

Summer is going way too fast this year! I can't believe it is going to be July tomorrow. Once July is over, we're just about back to school in Indiana.

Marathon training started two weeks ago right in the middle of some really hot weather. Of course, had I been running for the month between the Indy Mini and then, it probably would have been a piece of cake however, as always, life got in the way. I probably got in one run per week, along with a spinning class. Otherwise, time running was replaced with other things that needed to be done.

So, with the lack of preparation and heat/humidity, running has been an utter chore! I've been slogging along and interspersing bike rides to keep up the confidence. Thankfully, this morning, after not wanting to, I got out of bed at 5:45 a.m. and ran four great miles! Temperatures were in the high 40s to low 50s and I found my groove once again. A little confidence, too. I needed it. today.

That is me, up before the sun. If I don't, it won't get done. I am not a morning person, but alas, I have become one it seems. Good luck with your marathon training. I am still debating if/when I will do my first.
