Off to a not so great start

So, the day after I decide to sell my soul to a marathon, I wake up at 7:20 and don’t have time to run AND get to work on time.  Fan. Tas. Tic.  In my defense, I couldn’t sleep last night, so I figured I needed the extra nappy time.  Not tonight, though.  I will be up in the morning and in the park, no matter what.

What I need is a plan.  The first step will definitely have to be forming a routine.  I know me and I know that given the opportunity and without proper motivation, I will put off all the necessary training for a later date (read: too late).  That means habit and that means getting out of bed in the morning.  The second step will need to be a set of goals.  Perhaps the ability to do 13 miles by my birthday.  I dunno, I’ll hammer that out in a bit.  First thing first: run tomorrow.

    just make sure you don’t overtrain! Get a marathon plan recommended by a running site, and make sure you take it slow. You have tons of time until April.
