I just sucked it up and registered for the Pilgrim Pacer half. It is November 10th. My goal is to run 6 miles on Wednesday. Then 12 miles on the 29th. I'm not planning on PR'ing on the Pilgrim Pacer. I may try to beat my 2:12 from last year. I don't think I will get under 2:03. I will try but if I can't it won't be the end of the world.
I am also registering for the Garmin Marathon. I just realized tonight that registering for the Garmin Marathon means that I don't get a break from marathon training. Which is fine...who am I kidding I might as well keep training.
I started counting my calories again today. It has been easy keeping around 1400. I did 30 minutes of Jillian Michaels and ran/walked 2 miles. It felt absolutely amazing!!
So my weekly weigh in....162.2. I would be happy with next week being 159. Just seeing a 5 in the tens place would be nice. It's been a few long weeks since I've seen the 150's.
You can take a break from the Pilgrim Pacer to the start of the new year. You would still get a full 16 weeks of training if you start the first week of the new year.
ReplyDeleteBryan I know that I could take a break. However going into the Garmin I would like my longest run to be 22. The schedule I followed last time was 18 weeks and the longest run was 20. We will see how I feel after the Pilgrim Pacer.
