Final preparations

Taken from the NY TIMES yesterday.

Who’s running a fall marathon in 2008?  Say I if you’ve experienced aches and pains while training?!

This comic strip found on the athlete’s page of the NY Times yesterday is hilarious!  As I recall, every  time our mileage increased, we had new and or different aches and pains in our bodies.  Thankfully, none of my group became seriously injured while training, however, we’ve come a long way!  Among the many lessons learned, is that stretching is mandatory, yoga and recovery are equally important and learning how to listen to your body is a SKILL.

I can’t wait to just get out there and RUN.  Good luck to the rest of you runner’s!

It is best that you have the perfect triathlon training schedule to be more effective.

    You are so going to rock that marathon!! Good luck, I can’t wait to read about it.

    I have my first marathon in 19 days myself and am trying not to have a nervous breakdown (not very successfully, I might add). Any tips?

    that is such an inspirational and amazing story. I am training for a half marathon myself, and boy is it a lot work. So far I am doing a good job of keeping my self motivated.

    I have been working on health site called peoplesmd.com. There is some great information on diet, fitness, and healthy lifestyle. I think you guys would really like it!
