"How do you train for your marathon? I can't even begin to imagine how to do it"
I know she reads my blog so instead of repeating myself, I thought I would post my training regiment. So, Linda, here you go:
Week 3 - I was sick
Week 10 - I was in Nebraska
I am now on my last few weeks, and I am feeling okay. I know that I could tackle a Half Marathon, easily however it's that other half that I am feeling unsure. There is no doubt that I won't finish the race, but I defiantly think this will be one of the harder things that I am going to do.
The practice runs have been good for me to guage what I need. I know that I need some type or sugar about every 40 minutes, if I go longer my sugar levels start to drop and I start to get weak and light headed also, the recovery takes to longer. In my utility belt, I plan to carry one bottle with water, the other bottle with a Gatorade, or some other type of sports drink. I also plan to carry a few gel packs or sports beans in my pack. People who have done this race have told me that there are plenty of aid stations. I do not always like to rely on aid stations, I like to have my stuff on me when I need it. I have also been told that Ibuprofen will be my BFF. So, check got that. I have no clue what the weather will be like in Denver the day of the run, but the expo I am sure will have all that I need.
