Kristin and I went for a lovely 6-mile stroll last night, chatting and catching up on all of life while trying to keep warm in the stupidly-cold April weather! I'm thankful that the predicted snow was overhyped, but I'd like it to feel like Spring again ASAP.
I've adjusted the training plan to be a better fit for what I need right now. This coming weekend will be my final intense 20-mile training jog, then it's one lighter week of tapering down over Easter weekend, and then the Full Marathon - only 19 DAYS from today!! Get excited! ❤
Sad-ish news: my 256-week Peloton streak lapsed last week... (260 would have been 5 solid years, so that's kinda irritating, especially when I've been working out harder this year than most). I've just gradually come to prefer watching TV at night while I do strength exercises or stretches or yoga or cycling, and I often listen to Apple Music or Audible or chat with friends during my outdoor jogs. I cancelled the auto-renew on my Peloton subscription, and I've decided the Marathon day will be my last hoorah and final send-off for my five-year Peloton journey! I so appreciate the many ways Peloton has improved and changed my life and given me a more empowered perspective, and I'm super excited for the 7-hours of classes I have programmed in as my official playlist for my first Full Marathon race... (all ones I've done at least 3x and know I love and enjoy)! I planned them in an order that feels right to keep me going strong, and I think having the great music + the coaches encouragement + the race-day adrenaline + crowd support will be an awesome combo to carry me to the Finish Line!! That and my Run-Interval timing prompts and my black cherry energy chews, and maybe a donut along the way! lol ❤
And no matter what, when I reach the 26th mile marker, I'm playing OneRepublic's Marching On for the actual Finish Line crossing! =)
Make it a great week!!
❤❤❤
