Today I used our baby's naptime as prime time for putting together a running schedule, at least I began to put it onto paper. I began surfing the web for local races to add to each month both long and short, local and distant, fun and serious and I'm completely geeked out by it all. Sitting with my calendar, mapping out runs, and formulating training schedules while surfing the web = my happy place, don't mess with it.
I've added a few short 5k's, 4 mile, 8k's as well as half marathons and full, it's invigorating! So far, it's looking like full marathons in November, March and April for this year.
The most exciting race on my calendar will be the weekend in Melbourne, Fl in February. This will be a complete girl's weekend with my most amazing, most spectacular friend from college who will be running her first 5k!! We always try to put together a girl's weekend once/year, but this year it will be a little different. Her goal of one day running a 5k will be achieved at this race in Florida and I get to experience it with her, first hand! Her journey to accomplishing this goal will be long, strenuous, difficult, and challenging, but I'm truly looking forward to being by her side as we venture on this journey together. I've been formulating a very delicate, baby-step type of program to get her from where she is now to finishing a 5k. We'll rejoice in a fabulous 5k on Saturday and I'll push to PR in the half mary on Sunday.
I'm looking forward to this training plan coming together and getting myself back into a routine, even if the heat/humidity may dictate what I do and don't do. July though April, that's the plan!
