How Much do I Love 2 Run? HMMMMM....

This is my first post - thanks for renewing the invite!  What have I done?  Am I hoping we don't get picked for St. George this year because I did register?  Actually, no, I am still hoping we do!  However, it is challenging my nerve.  Does anyone have a great program for "slow & go" runners to train from a 4-5 mile run to marathon?

I actually gave up running for a little bit with the "I'm too busy"  to do this and I don't really like it that much anyway.... after getting totally built up with stress and anxiety, I decided to go for an alone run...Oh my, I think I do like it!!  it was an epiphany - I actually NEED it - for sanity, for fun, to feel like I'm doing something for myself, to get away from kids hanging on my leg, to get to listen to music that I love and to forget about everything and think through things only I need and want to think through.  I am excited to have something to train for...heres to getting PICKED!!!

    Even though training through a brutally hot summer still sounds incredibly stupid - I'm totally hoping we get picked too! I can't wait for the carb loading party the night before!

    The other morning I was thinking, "Why did I ever think this was a good idea? Can't I just be satisfied with just running 3-5 miles 3-4 days per week?" I LOVE everyone's enthusiasm. So, sure, here's to getting picked. It will be a party. Marcie, how long has it been since we were both there together ... since '94?

    Here's the schedule I've been using.

    I like that it has a schedule to build up to the marathon schedule. So, the intense training begins in June. Yay for intense training! :)

    What will we do if we don't get picked? There must be a half marathon somewhere between here and there we can find and all meet up for...I've got to have SOMETHING to train for. But I guess we'll cross that bridge on May 11th!
