I decided to combine my two blogs. I don't post much for general topics anyway.
234. That is the number of days I have to train until the Chicago Marathon on October 7th. I really began at the end of December with my running focused training. I got a short-term membership to the Princeton Club so that I didn't have an excuse to take the whole winter off, like last year.
Prior to that, in the fall, I was participating in a class called, TRX, with Woodall Training (Kari Woodall) in Middleton. I can't wait to get back to practicing TRX at least once a week. I have never felt as strong and healthy as when I was taking TRX in combo with running/biking. All my hip, neck, back, knee, hip, etc. pain went away after only 3 weeks of TRX. I recommend it if you haven't tried it.
This past week has been not so stellar. I got sick last Friday with a nasty cold and I am STILL sick. I haven't been running this whole time I have been sick. So the Frosty 5K I am running in Madison on Saturday morning should be...fun. If by "fun" I mean really hard and definitely not my best time for a 5K. But who knows? I will just relax and try to have a good time.
