My official training doesn't start until later this month so my veteran runners have told me to take is easy so I don't get early burn out. This is hard since I feel like a horse in the starting gate. I wanna run! I have been running a couple of miles here and there but mostly I have been concentrating on my Zumba routines so they will be all ready when I am training and can't spend as much time on new dances.
The fear of failure, injury, or illness is kicking in big time. I want to prove to myself that this 49 year body still has what it takes to keep up with the big dogs. I probably should have done a marathon years ago but I never had the desire until now. I have read many stories of runners starting out older than I am and doing full marathons. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it.
