Well here it is. 10 months to the beginning of the Goofy Challenge and the official day in my life to start training again. I realize that if I was pregnant today, I would deliver the baby before I would complete my training. Well I think that the training will be less painful then a delivery.
This morning I woke up and had several reasons why not to walk today. It was cloudy , it was too dark( the time change thing), I could wait until the evening , and I just didn't feel like it. I got down to the street level and as I waited for the Garmin to find its satelites, I kept praying for rain. Well I didn't get the rain and the watch started and I was off. One step in front of the other, until I completed 35 minutes and I was back home. Feeling good about my accomplishments and planning my training for the next few months.
I completed 2.27 miles in 35 minutes , at a pace of 15:42. I burned 294 calories amd my average pace was 15:25. As you cn see it was a slow easy pace. I have decided not to push myself so early in my training. And so I arrive at the specifics of my training now: 1) I want to walk 3-5 times a week, 2) I will do a longer walk once a week , preferably Saturday with my friends from FIT until that starts up again; 3) since I know with training I can do a marathon, I want to enjoy my training more this year and worry less; and 4) I will write and add to the blog at least once a week, most likely it will be during the weekend. So at least check back on Sunday to see how the week went.
Enjoy your day, enjoy the outdoors and be thankful for each day because it is truly a gift from God.
