San Diego Marathon Training: Weeks 1, 2 & 3

Posted on by

If you know me or if you’ve been following my blog, you know that I completed my first marathon, the Nike Women’s Marathon, in October 2011 with Team in Training while raising close to $3000 for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  It was such an amazing experience that I decided to stay with TNT and attempt my second 26.2 at the Oakland Running Festival this coming March.

A girl reserves the right to change her mind, of course, and feeling a bit burned out from running following the marathon, decided to put off my second attempt at 26.2 until June 3rd, and will be running the San Diego Rock n’ Roll marathon instead.

Race Recap: Kaiser Permanente Half Marathon

Going into Sunday’s half marathon, I was more than dubious.  Having felt burned out for the first time in 5 years, I wasn’t too sure that a half marathon was the smartest thing to do given my attitude problem.

Thankfully, I was wrong.

The Kaiser Permanente half was just what I needed to shake that feeling- it was such a great race!  As my 35th race and my 4th half marathon, it was the most mellow race experience to date.  With 10,000 participants, the course was not crowded, course support aplenty, the weather was gorgeous, plus I PRed by 5 minutes so, yes, I am completely biased.  I’ve got my mojo back- yaaaaaay!

Today’s Reason: Burnout

Is it true?  Has it happened?  Am I burned out from running???

My last few runs have not been great.  More specifically, they have been HORRIBLE.  The 6 miles on Sunday felt never-ending, I was angry the whole time.  The 3 miles on Monday were excruciating, I wanted to stop after a mile.  The next 3 miles on Tuesday were just as rough, ran the whole thing but hated every minute of it.  And the 1.25 hill run yesterday was pretty much torture, the yearn to quit overwhelmed me.
