READY TO GO!

Today is my last full day at home before the big race! In less than 72 hours I
will be finishing up my first marathon! This is HUGE for me! To be honest I’m
not a runner at heart, I don’t love to run, but I love being healthy and in
shape. Running is a means to an end, I don’t mind doing it with a friend but I
detest it on the treadmill and am not a huge fan of a long solo run. Training
for this marathon on my own was definitely hard, but it was the motivation I
needed to get out and run.

I have learned so much about endurance from training for this run and I’m hoping
what I knew previously, combined with what I’ve learned, will make me successful
Sunday in Houston. I have a whole new level of appreciation for my horse when we
are doing an endurance ride, and I’m hoping that a lot of what I’ve learned
about preparing for this race can help me to better condition my horses for
endurance rides. One major thing I’ve learned, I definitely need to start
watching what I eat when I get home, because without running as much as I have
been I can’t get away with eating as much as I have been! Running makes me
starving, it takes a lot of control to say “no I think that’s enough”! I know
that staying healthy is more about diet in most cases than activity and I know
why, because when you work out you eat more, and if it’s junk you are in
trouble!

Diet and exercise, but also, equally important is REST. When I get a good
night’s sleep I feel much stronger the next day. My muscles need to repair, this
means days off between workouts. I will admit I did not follow the training
schedule mapped out for me. I’m sure it’s a great schedule for someone looking
to PR a marathon, but I will PR with finishing with 1 minute to spare! I’m not
looking to win an award so I’m not going to run 5 days a week and completely
tear my body down in order to maybe get a much faster time. I think 40 miles a
week is a lot on a new distance runner and probably more than their body can
handle to start out. Just my opinion, but I’m sure I’ll know if I didn’t get
enough come Sunday!

So please pray for my travels and my run Sunday! I appreciate it!
