well, this week i've been mentally more determined... even if i didn't make it on my run this morning.

i'll probably catch a bit flack for it!... meh.

i had to be reminded yesterday, when i was fretting about my slow-ass pace, that this is only my warm up 18week training plan.

the real one starts, well, about 18 weeks out from the gc marathon. then i will do all the right speed sessions, hill repeats (got some great ones right around my house!) and more pace running.

reminder again: this is just a warm up. for fun. i'm still not focusing on nutrition... will probably cut out drinky poos.

i'm trying to set a goal time that's achievable but that will also blow my mind. somewhere around 3:30... but i'm scared to set my sights so high! that's over an hour better than my pb. j thinks i can. i'd be happy under 4 i think. i'm really into this *ease into it* thing...

i'll be easing into a 10km tomorrow morning. it's always a bit of a milestone, these midweek sortalong runs. just because i have to fit it in before work. up at 5am. should pass out now... gotta write some xmas stuff first though. ahhhhh

looks like i'll be catching up on my sleep this weekend again!

happy training! -xo-
