I having a really hard time these days dealing with how I treated myself and my hubby back in my 20's. I just did not take care of myself nor did I really love and take care of him. So sad. I am trying so hard to take that knowledge and turn it into a cautionary tale by which I make the most of life now, but it is weighing me down. I missed out on so much. We missed out on so much. Plus, my body is reaping the results of that time of my life. I hate it. I could have been so much more and I could be so much more now had I taken better care of myself...had I just cared a little.
Now that the half is over and I am moving onto the next challenge, I am wondering if maybe I should do a full marathon. There is only 10 weeks, I think until the full marathon here. I do not believe that is enough time to train to double my distance. That is what is keeping me from going full force with it. I am thinking maybe I should just work on my half marathon time and stick with the half that weekend. I am just praying it does not rain that day. I can handle the cold or the rain if it is warm, but I cannot handle the cold and rain and it is going to be cold here then for sure. I am doing a trail run tomorrow so no long run for me. This is my first trail run ever. I am pretty excited. My BFF wants to do a 10k. I am thinking more along the lines of an 8 miler. We will see what I talk her into....
Next Sunday, I think I am back to 12 miles. Well, I plan to run for 2 hours and then increase by 5 minutes every week. That should have me at 2 hours and 30 minutes by the time the half is here. That should put me at almost 16 miles by then. I would really like to hit 3 hours before the year is out, but after this half, I am cutting back to an hour and a half until it warms up. I am wimpy about the cold and not afraid to admit it. I loathe the cold. I am and will always be wimpy about the cold. That will never change. I need to get some serious cold weather running gear going for the winter so I can at least keep my hour and a half runs moving along.
The thought of winter depresses me. I hate going into the fall because of it. Everyone loves the fall. I hate it because it means winter is coming. The days are short and the cold is hard. I long for my long summer days where the sun beats down on my face. I am going to miss it so much. So so much.
