Today marked a new dawn for me...the beginning of proper formal training for the marathon. I got my Nike+ trainers and sensor for Christmas so I am well chuffed and excited to be out on the road again. According to my training schedule I was to run 4 miles tonight. I ran 4.2 miles! Go me! Feeling motivated despite the bitter cold outside and my friend Dave is appealing to my stubborn side by not having faith in me, therefore making me more determined to finish to wipe the smile off his face! Love ya Dave!
Biggest challenges today include learning to breathe through my mouth to stop the icy air drying out my nose, getting my hair to stay in one place so I can stop looking like a complete muppet running down the road and learning to look both ways when crossing the road.
Tip of the Day: When you start to itch (insanely) after running DO NOT SCRATCH!! It makes it sooo much worse! My legs are on fire!
New aim: Encourage someone to buy me some cute new sweats to fit my ever decreasing waist size! Running rocks!
Mood: Itchy, sweaty, irritable, sore but bloody happy I can still walk :)
Loves you
Michelle
