Never Leave the Site of a Decision Without Taking Action!

So, last night, I was so excited about my new training plan that I skipped my rest day but I was able to restrain myself enough to keep it at an Easy 3 Miler.  I am a firm believer that you should Never Leave the Site of a Decision Without Taking Action!  Doing so allows you to take advantage of your nervous energy and excitement to start making a dent into whatever it is you want to accomplish.

So, upon looking at my Excel Sheet Gone Rouge, I found that I will be completing 500 miles in what is left of 2011.  Total Score ;)

I do need to schedule some Strength Training ... not sure what I will be doing yet but I will keep ya'll posted!

Happy Tuesday!

An Excel Sheet Gone Rouge

So last week I started my training again.  It was a good first week back logging in almost 12 miles on the treadmill.  I'm not happy that they were all on the treadmill but I will take what I can get for now and work on changing it up some in the next few weeks ... though considering August is on the horizon, I may be seeing more of the treadmill than I like in the next few weeks.

So today, as I decided to listen to Anthony Robbins Get the Edge, something I like to do when I need a little motivational kick in the rear, and considering I just finished Grad School, I was hoping for a little bit of direction ... and as I listened ... I returned to thinking of all the things I was working on before starting Grad School.

Then I had an AH HA MOMENT!!!  I was training for the ING MARATHON!

Life and Grad School got in the way and I had a less than stellar performance then ...

But now, a google search and an Excel sheet later, I am thinking of going for the ING MIAMI in January 2012.  I had already set a Goal of doing the 13.1 Fort Lauderdale in November which fits well into the plan so why not?

I have penciled in last week to be Week 0 and will start some serious base building in the upcoming weeks.

I have 28 wonderful weeks of training ahead of me.

Wish me luck!

Back To It

Three weeks slipped away from me, between Final Papers and Exams, and the subsequent decompression required after such.

But I have returned to my training.

I have decided to go ahead and start training for the 13.1 Fort Lauderdale on November 13, 2011.
