Happy Monday!
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! Mine was spent eating a lot of great food, lazing on the deck and enjoying some great family time – even got some family runs in 🙂
But now it’s Monday…and time for me to start to make the transition towards training.
Time to start being more mindful of my eating…to building up my cardio…to getting more sleep…to wrapping my head around being on a training plan again.
I ran a mile trial this weekend to benchmark where I am…and oh my, let’s just say there’s work to be done! But that’s OK. There’s still a couple of weeks before Coach Bennett sends me my Philly training plan and I know I will be ready to take on whatever he sends my way (someone please reminds in a few weeks that I said that, ok!)
Let the transition begin!
Have you started your fall training yet?
How exciting Michelle! Do not panic if you are not where you need to be yet….you wouldn’t want to be, but now you have a starting point which is great! I am right there with you, now starts the build; doing the little things to make sure I am ready for Chicago….but you have a few more weeks on me 🙂 Excited to see how it goes!

And you know I’m excited to follow your Chicago training – I know I’ll learn some new things 😉
Since my longest fall race is a 10 miler and I’m still doing 10 mile long runs once in a while, I am just in a holding pattern – trying to do strength workouts to keep injury-free (knock-on-wood)!

You’ve done a great job staying off the IR list! Hope it stays that way for you!
I am chomping at the bit to start NYC training but my official plan does not start until next week. What? I’m working on reeling in the food as well. Excited for you!

I definitely have some work to do on cleaning up my diet since I’ve been pretty much eating whatever I want ;0
Yep! I started on 6/24 for my fall (first) half marathon.
Good luck with your training!

Ha ha! Thanks Courtney 😉
Good luck with training! I need to get back on the “good eating” wagon – been overindulging lately.

Thanks! How’s NYC training going?
I’m in training! It’s going to be a busy season for sure. No need to panic for you…it’s still building time before you are in the thick of it!

I saw your fall schedule – you’ve got a lot happening! 🙂 Yes I’m very glad to have enough time to build-up smartly!
I am so with you! My first training run is today! I’m starting to think about eating healthier, and I’m just full of so many nerves! Look forward to reading about your training!

Yea for the first training run! Good luck – I’ll definitely be following along!
I am in the same place, transitioning towards training and cleaning up my diet. Looking forward to following your journey.
Good luck with your training Cristina! Which race are you doing?
I’m so excited for you Michelle. Don’t push too much though. You don’t want to injure yourself. I’m now shifting from marathon to ultras. I pushed myself too hard and now I injured my left knee. I’m still waiting for the results of my MRI. I hope it’s not serious.
