Marathon Training Commence...

Well, here it is 1 year away - my first marathon and celebrating my 50th birthday next year... ALL IN VEGAS!!! 

So this week was the beginning of my marathon training....

I do have to say that I am SCARED SPITLESS!!!

I am EXCITED at the same time! I know that this is normal, but I have to settle down and just take one day, one run interval, one hurdle at a time...

I know that I have to get out of my own way and my own head - from what I've been told by experienced marathoners is that it's 80% mental, 20% training/nutrition...

It's the training part that I'm nervous about, so to speak... I know that I can do the miles, it's the DISCIPLINE and DOING THE MILES when I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT - that's what I'm afraid of or the most nervous about...

This has been on my bucket list since 2015 - THIS is the year that I lose my weight and do this marathon...

I know that the best plan of action is being consistent and when it's time for me to run - doing intervals...

Here's to the year of first's and training to make this dream a reality!
