My brother and I will be participating in our first marathon in 30 days. I’m not quite sure how my brother is preparing for the event, but I know that I am going to be devoting a large amount of time to running over the next 30 days. I want to make sure that I can complete the full marathon running the entire way.
When we ran the Rose Bowl Half Marathon in February, I completed the entire run, but knew that I would not have lasted any longer. I actually thought about stopping at around the 11 mile mark, but was able to push through it to continue running. I knew I only had 2 more miles to go to complete the half marathon. But, I think mentally I would have stopped knowing that I would have had to run another 15 miles before I could stop.
I’m excited but nervous about our upcoming marathon. I know that I will not be as prepared as I would like to be, but I am going to try my best to get in the best shape I can by then. I am officically starting my marathon training today and would love some company. If anyone is interested in running daily with me I would be more than happy to have you along.
you guys are going to do great! With marathon? Make sure that you taper that last week and keep your runs light and hydrate like crazy.
Mitch,
Thanks for the tips, we’re going to have to start picking up the training, that’s for sure. You’re wise. I guess that’s why you’re our hero.
