Well I am supposed to be running 42.2 km in 37 days and my training has been non-existent. Sure I have "run" but I have not been "training". I have not done a long run in ages and am feeling awful about it.
March is always a hard month - we have 3 birthdays, march break (which means a week of entertaining the kids) and then Easter (read: ate too many chocolate eggs!!!). I have baked cakes and cupcakes, ate pizza and just pretty much struggled to get out just to get in a few km's at a time.
So...now what to do. I am not giving up...I am way too stubborn for that! But running a full marathon in 37 days will not be pretty...and I will have to lower my time expectations. I think at this point I am just going to focus on getting out for some key runs to get my mileage up and just plan to cross the finish line up right and smiling.
You guessed it...I am Canadian and a Runner, and this is my blog. It's not really about the running or taming the obsession, but the journey along the way!
atta girl, keep at it. Get your long runs in and you will be good. 2-3 3 hour runs and you are good to go.
