Well...I've recuperated from the Half-Marathon, enough that I thought it would be a good idea to sign up for my next Half. Yea...I know, I'm crazy! The first time is out of the way...time to move on.
I learned so much from the first go around, that I plan on preparing based on the lessons learned.
{1} Toenails are way over-rated: Clip them short before you run.
{2} I tend to go out too fast: Practice pacing myself, so that I can finish strong.
{3} There is a right way to tie your shoes: Make sure you do it right! And if you don't...fix it as soon as possible.
{4} Going 13.1 miles will bring out every emotion and test you in ways you didn't think possible: Embrace the emotions, don't fight it.
{5} You can't underestimate the importance of friends: Don't go it alone!
{6} Be prepared: Train. Train. Train!!
It's 15 weeks until the Germantown Half Marathon and I'm determined to train and give it my very best. I know what to expect...sort of...and I believe with training, I can definitely make a better showing. Time to lace up and get to training!
For the sake of accountability...I'm going to post my weekly plan each week and follow up with how it went.
