e_julianaSo, the biggest thing on my mind recently is the marathon. Well, that and commuting up to St. Cloud every weekend for the show, but mostly the marathon.
I'm a little disappointed in myself when I think about my training. I didn't really train this year. I could say that I tried and that I had a lot going on this season, but in reality? It's the usual half-assed thing I do with anything that's not new and shiny anymore. I did the bare minimum to allow myself to complete the race, when my real goal was beating my time from last year. I have to make a choice and decide if I want to run any more marathons, and if I do, what I need to do to consistently improve, because it's not worth putting my body through all the stress and making the time commitment if I'm not going to be improving. Not that I expect every race to be a PR. I'm not that hard on myself. Yet.
The marathon is 12 days out. There's not much I can do about it now. My race plan is to stick with the 4:45ers, and maybe try to pull ahead when we hit Mile 18. This one is going to take a lot more energy to get through than the last one did.
Sigh. Better go drink some more Blue Machine Superfood.....
