Life just gets busy sometimes and your training goes out the door. I guess in reality it just means I haven’t 
been truly committed to this marathon. I have been asking myself, “Do I really want to put myself through the incredibly hard and demanding training schedule that this marathon will require”. I am sure that I want to run this marathon, I know what I have to do to make it a reality. Now I need to get serious about my training. I started running a few days back. Naturally it was painful and I am completely out of shape in the cardio area of my fitness. I believe that I can physically do this marathon, I am however, worried about the mental strength that something of this magnitude requires. To date I have never ran more then 15 miles straight and that almost killed me. Well, it felt like I was dying anyway. Allergies are definetely affecting my perfomance. I have a stong allergy to grass and pollen as well. So when I exert myself running it feels like i’m breathing through a straw. I take Benedryl which helps but still I have issues. I know in November for the marathon allergies won’t be an issue.
Stay tuned for more…
