I cannot believe I am even thinking about this. I have barely ran a 5K and haven't run any kind of 5K race and Here I am thinking about running the Marine Corp Marathon October, 2011. I would have to say it is my wife's fault. She was looking at a magazine I recently bought which has the 2011 Marathon Guide. After reading the details of the race, not the distance, she thought it would be awesome to see me finish and have a 2nd Lieutenant drape a metal around my neck. I agree with her that would be amazing but incredibly hard. I have got my work and research cut out for me. I have got to find a balance with my diabetes and distance running. I am going to have to see a Nutritionist in the next couple of weeks to see what I can do to better improve my diet with my exercise.
Yesterday I was able to complete Week 3 Day 1 without any issues. I was tired after the run and wasn't smiling as much as I was during Week 2 but I am glad I skip Day 2 and 3 of Week 2. I have really enjoyed the couch to 5K podcast NHS has put on iTunes. Having someone to tell you when to jog and when to recover is really helpful and motivating. Now I need a 5K to Marathon plan to help me prepare for October 30, 2011. One foot in front of the other and one day at a time. I think sometime in January or February I will need to run my first race to get me on the right track for my Goal.
