Here we go again

9 10 2009

Here we go again, or so I beleive. Training has started, now in the third week. This time our goal is the P.F. Chang’s Rock ‘n Roll 1/2 Marathon. In case you weren’t filled in before, Ethel & I finished our first half marathon last May in 2hrs 34min. This coming January will be our 2nd big running accomplishment.
Today was a 3 mile run. It felt like hell, having some irritating throat issues and sinus’ not treating me well. Finished in 35 minutes. Not bad considering I threw up and walked part of it. Throat was burning at the halfway mark and the physical overcame my lack of mental will to push on. It’s frustrating to be slowed down by illness, makes me feel incompetent. I’m still satisfied with the timing even though inwas hoping for better on our first 3miler.
As this 16 week endevour continues, I’ll try to be more diligent in keeping up with log of how I’m going from fat to fit (again)!
