About Me

After four years of long-distance running (5k, 10k, half-marathons) I got a little burnt out and decided to try my hand at triathlons. This blog is a journey into my training regime, as well as the play-by-play experiences I have had while competing in these amazingly fun events!

Memphis Training

Well, after San Francisco I really thought I would keep up the marathon training. Having signed up for the Memphis full Marathon, rather than just the half, I thought I had learned my lesson regarding lack of training from Chicago 2009, but I guess not. We're now 3 weeks from the race, and the 17-20 miler I had planned for today turned into a 14.25 miler with mostly walking during the last 7 or so miles. Pathetic. I haven't been eating well lately, which probably contributed to the sucky run, and my body just felt like lead about 6 miles into the run. Ugh. So, I'm gonna do the best I can considering my lack of training, and now the lack of time I have to prepare. Planning on another longer run next weekend - maybe a 13 miler or so, and a shorter run the weekend prior to the marathon, but really thinking of amping up my current non-existent week-day running regime, and logging some 3-5 milers during the week. We'll see how this pans out....
