I nevertheless sense a runner's high from the marathon--and i'm so glad! I failed to experience this way after Cleveland at all, and this is why i finished up registering for another marathon almost right away. i used to be looking for a runner's high from the primary one, and when I did not get it, i was disenchanted enough to try once more. Now that I got it, i am glad to take per week of worry-loose relaxation.
however the day prior to this, I got truely restless, and i was deliberating going for a run. I in reality felt like I wished this week off, however, so I went for a stroll as an alternative. I best walked for a mile, and it was greater of a walk--no longer with the reason of burning energy, but just to stop feeling so lazy.
On Monday, i'll be beginning a education schedule to live in form for the Ragnar Relay. i am going to educate as if I had been jogging a ten-mile race (the longest leg I must run in Florida is 8.eight miles). I additionally trying to determine between two half of-marathons for spring--both the Martian 1/2-marathon or the Glass town half of-marathon. i'm guessing that the Martian will be subsidized by means of Jerry's paintings (that means I won't need to pay for the registration) so i'm able to possibly do this one, but i've already run that 10K two times; it'd be a nice change of scenery to run the Glass town half.
After Ragnar, i'll have a couple of weeks before I start schooling for the 1/2-marathon. I may also do more than one quick races inside the summer (5K or 10K), and then I plan to run the Detroit unfastened Press worldwide half-Marathon in October.
I may turn out to be selecting one greater fall race--one that is out of metropolis which i will get to journey for--however i haven't gotten that some distance but. i'm just looking ahead to training for shorter races, focusing on one race at a time, and no longer overbooking myself!
