I have decided to start training for a marathon, and I finally came across a plan to help me accomplish this task. I'm still trying to figure out a particular race to run. I'm hoping if I write about my experience, it will help keep me motivated and encouraged. I have a love hate relationship with running, and I refuse to act like I don't have difficult training days. I will write about the good and the bad and will try not to hold back. I know there are several runners out there who will appreciate the truth. I read the truth of your struggles and triumphs, and I know you expect the same of me. Monday is day 1 of training. Pretty much the next several weeks/months will consist of the following:
Mondays: Cross training
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays: Easy runs, mixed with some tempo runs
Fridays: Rest!
Saturdays: Long runs
Sundays: Recovery runs
I have one more day of motivating myself to start!

I was training for a half marathon run last year until I got a crazy infection. I got up to eight miles. School is taking over everything right now so I can't really train. Your bones start to ache a little from all the training, but I felt awesome. I was never a runner before, but I lost like 100 lbs. and it was awesome how far I could go. Do not give up!
