Day 1 of Training...
My schedule is posted on the wall, just waiting to be completed.
This works wonders, it really does. It totally helped me accomplish last year's goal of running my 1st half marathon.
There is just something so satisfying about highlighting my workouts as I accomplish them. Plus, it's right next to my t.v. So when I'm having a lazy, sweatpants, junk-food kinda day, the schedule will be there staring me down and making my fat ass guilty butt get off the couch.
I can't believe that I took what felt like a giant step last year. From being a casual jogger to a determined 1st time 1/2 marathoner. I wasn't sure if I could do it. But I wasn't going to just give up without trying.
Now I'm going all the way. Am I crazy? Probably. But I'm just going to take it one step at a time.
Literally.
And Day 1 of training?
Is a rest day.
Yea, that's right. Way to grab me when the motivation is high, Hal Higdon.
Don't worry, I cross-trained and weight lifted at the gym.:)
Wow! I'm so excited for you! All the best with your training. You set a fabulous, inspiring goal. Congrats on taking the first steps. Here's to an amazing year. Cannot wait to cheer you along all the way to your marathon!
ReplyDeleteHere we go! I love having a schedule in plain sight too. I have heard of people who just wing it which amazes me. I definitely need the direction of a schedule and you can't go wrong with Hal :)
