It always gets worse before it gets better...

I woke up today in pain. Well, not PAIN pain, but soreness. Stairs are a problem. Trying to run up and down them for work is a problem. Sitting down and standing up again takes effort. Ah well, it means I worked my legs. I just wish it'd go away. I wasn't sure I'd be able to get my two miles in today. Luckily, I did. It just wasn't anything special.

So much soreness....

I saw my personal trainer today. Oh. My. God. I didn't know I could be so sore so soon. My legs hurt. My glutes hurt. Everything below the waist hurts. And I know it will be worse tomorrow. Ah well. It's no pain, so that's good. It means I had a good workout. Back to running tomorrow!

I feel like it's really happening!

So we booked our hotel today. Art of Animation, Lion King suite. Won't lie, I'm excited. I then ran 4 miles in 55:05. So about 13.76 minute mile. Which, for me, is awesome. I guess knowing it's really happening is making me work harder. Which is great. I'm just worried about being able to finish 26 miles.

Update

So I'm officially registered for the 2013 Disney Marathon. I won't lie, I'm incredibly nervous. I mean, three miles is a lot for me right now. I know it's far away, but I'm still nervous. I'm going to the gym regularly and seeing a personal trainer a few times a month. Hopefully I'll start seeing results. The only thing that's happened recently was me almost injuring myself using a treadmill I hadn't used before for .45 miles. I still don't know how I did that. That's all for now. I got in 9.5 miles last week. I did every mile on my schedule. So hopefully I'll keep it up and all will be good.

Training for my training

Well, it has begun. Kind of. My training plan for my marathon is only 30 weeks, so I've got a few weeks before that begins. Right now I'm getting back to jogging a bit. I did a 13:37 minute mile today. Nothing special, but better than just walking. Hopefully I'll be able to keep that up for 26.2 miles instead of just the one. I'm really working on it, though, so hopefully I'll be in much better shape at the time of the race.

Planning for my next race!

Well, I've got my plan for my next race-my first FULL marathon(!!)- all set up. The schedule doesn't technically start for two weeks, but I've got a little plan set up to get back into running. I'm a bit nervous about trying a full marathon, but a little excited, as well. If anything it's an excuse to go to Florida for a few days. I'll keep you all posted!

And a setback...

So, getting all psyched to start training and I twist my ankle and hurt my foot in NY. Just great. It's nothing serious and I should be fine in a few days, but it's a slight setback and not what I had in mind. Ah, well, I just need to take it a bit easy at first so I don't seriously hurt myself. I'll keep you posted!
