I'm happy and excited about having completed three weeks. I'm close to moving on to the next level of the weight training but am still struggling with the cardio. I'm still making progress but it's slow.
I'd have to say that the biggest problem with our overall progress has been diet. We have undermined all of our efforts starting with day one. On top of that, every weekend we have something going on; this weekend is a wedding where I'm sure we'll eat and drink plenty. We actually take a weekend off on Oct. 23 from the high caloric intake but then we have the Halloween party on Oct. 30. The following weekend should be good too, that's the Marshall University Half Marathon weekend. I'm not sure what's going on after the Nov. 6-7 weekend.
I've been contemplating doing a full marathon. The MU Half Marathon will be my 8th and I am considering the Charlotte Thunder Road Half Marathon in December. After that, I don't have another scheduled but I know I'll get one scheduled soon. Concerning the marathons that take place at the same time as the half marathons I've done, I'd have to say that Charlotte, Myrtle Beach, Marshall, and the NC Marathon at High Point are all well organized. Myrtle Beach and Marshall are the flattest. I've thought about the Chicago Marathon too. I'm not ready to commit yet, I'm just thinking about it.
What do you think?
I think you should go for it! My vote is for Chicago so we can visit with Andi & Ole. :)
ReplyDeleteI think you should do the Kiawah Island Half Marathon in December or the full one next December. It is a flat race, but it fills up quickly. Keep up the good work!
