PLANNED MILES: WHO CARES?
COMPLETED MILES: I DUNNO
Technically this is not week 1, but I have no idea where I am in my training cycle.
To be perfectly honest, I have no idea what I’m doing (or where I’m going) for this marathon. Because of what life has been throwing at me since moving to Virginia, I guess it was not a great idea to sign up for another marathon. My training has been pretty nonexistent over the past few weeks. While I have been completing runs here and there, I have not been consistent at all. At this point, I think the maximum distance for a run has been 12 miles during this training cycle.
Folks might remember that this marathon was supposed to be my redemption marathon after my poor performance running NYC Marathon. At this point, One City Marathon might take that crown.
Now, I’m at a loss about what to do:
Do I call it a wash, cancel my registration, and plan for another marathon later in the year once things settle down?
Do I continue to train and hope for the best?
I kind of want to continue to train, but I’m not sure if my ego can handle running another 5+ hr (well 5.5+ hr) marathon. While I have completed several marathons, I simply do not know how to get back to my training. Unfortunately, I just have not been able to find a decent groove for my running.
