so as you know I am training to walk the marathon now. Its been cool. It definitely took a bit to get used to it. But I am still maintaining 15 minutes per mile. The funny thing is I realized that when I was run/walking I was speeding up my run and slowing down my walk which averaged to 13-14 minutes per mile. When walking I have to stay consistent. so its been a challenge that way but I think I got it now. :)
My back is not better. I still hurt after working out or even walking a long time. I will find out this week if my insurance will cover the MRI. Until then I am training with one of our personal trainer Ambassadors from the store with New Zealand fitness 3 times a week. We are working on strengthening my upper body and my legs to hopefully release some of the tension from my sacrum. I will let you know:)
So... Sunday we did 10 miles. Its the last recovery run we did to prepare for the long one this weekend. This Sat is 23 miles. (I will go as far as I can)It went well. I am really maintaining my walking speed and I got to be with my group this week. I miss them. We keep getting split up. We started as a group of 7 and we are down to 4. It makes me sad. I really miss the others. But its nice to be going through this journey with my team. They give me hope and push me further when I think I cant make it.
I'll be honest. I'm really nervous for the Marathon. Since the furthest thus far that I have gone is 13 miles. Even power walking for long distances get me pretty inflamed. No worries. I will complete this challenge. I'm just expressing my fear. If I wasn't scared wouldn't you be a bit concerned? LOL:)
Well the LOOOOONG training run is just a couple days away. I look forward to sharing it with you. Stay tuned.
XOXO
p.s the marathon pic above is a moving truck we went passed and I had to take a pic. :)
