Friday’s Confession: I MISSED Week 1 of Marathon Training

Running — 06 May 2011

Friday’s Confession … I missed my first week of marathon training – GASP!

It wasn’t intentional – I actually have been anxiously awaiting week 1 - but I didn’t check my running group’s message boards and, yup, I totally missed it.

I’m so sorry, I was a little busy bikini shopping and turning 40, ahem, but I did manage to squeeze out two 4 mile runs and one day of strength training – fortunately, training starts off slow.

I’m so excited to get back on schedule and run with my Get Fit Atlanta peeps tomorrow morning. Thankfully, I’ve got a good 20+ weeks to redeem myself.

Tell me I’m not alone … ever miss a week of training?

You are not alone. I didn't miss a full week in training for my first but Christmas (along with upstate NY winter weather) had me missing long runs outside as I didn't want frostbite or to get ill. I had weeks that were suppose to be in the mid to high 40 miles and ended up barely touching 30.

Technically, I missed one of the first weeks of marathon training in January when we went to Antigua. I'm sure you'll redeem yourself next week.
