I’ve OFFICIALLY lost it

It’s official. I’m going to be running the 2010 Aramco 1/2 Marathon with Ish. Yup. I’m definitely losing it. But you know what? I’m okay with that. I am actually really excited to get back to training for a bigger and better race. I’m armed with my Gymboss Interval Timer & Stop Watch and Galloway’s book Half-Marathon: You Can Do It. I am so very nervous…but I think that between the book and Galloway’s training program (I’m starting off by running 3 and walking 1, based on my mile-time), I think that this is TOTALLY doable. I am also relying on Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life for guidance regarding nutrition and proper recovery on a vegan diet. I figure that it’s far better to be knowledgeable and prepared than to face injury, surprise or failure. Ish and I are going to be running together for the first month or so, but I’m not sure after that…I know that we’re going to be doing our long runs together, at least for awhile. I cannot wait to get started!! How about all of my fans? Have you ever trained for or run a 1/2 or full marathon?

On another note, I absolutely LOVE my Gymboss Interval Timer & Stop Watch, and have been using it for about 2 weeks now. It’s a great training tool, especially for increasing speed and distance. In fact, my Gymboss could be used for running, walking, kettlebells, really anything that requires timing. It is so important to train properly, and I want to share my awesome tool with y’all. So, next month, I’ll be giving away a slate Gymboss Interval Timer & Stop Watch!
