And we are in week 1 of a 28 week program

I have a schedule in my phone that tells me what I need to do on what day for the next 28 weeks. I am doing an 8 week 5K program that ends with the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. I ran it a couple of years ago and it was fun. The I have an 8 week 10K program that ends with a 10K the weekend of Feb 2-3 but I cannot find a 10K that weekend in Michigan or Ohio so I am thinking about taking a trip to Florida for that one. I am researching it right now. On Feb 4th I start my 12 week half marathon training. I have the plan and the will so I'm taking it one day at a time. My training is my priority and I'm going slow to avoid any injuries.

I can use some support and someone to keep me accountable. I have enlisted my co-worker, Michelle, to run with me and she is going to do the long runs with me on the weekends. That is really going to help keep me motivated. It isn't so easy to blow off when someone is expecting you to join them. Thank Michelle. I also have some students willing to do my weekly shorter runs with me. Bless their hearts...what student wants to run with their teacher? Apparently mine do. I love these kids.

Slow and steady wins the race...Just call me Tina Turtle.
