Gonna Fly Now! Philly Marathon here I come!

What better way to start training for a marathon than by running a marathon! Actually that's not very smart at all. I have been training for this upcoming marathon somewhat.

By somewhat I mean that I've run long a few times. I feel confident about the distance- I will make it from the start to the finish covering 26.2 miles. And on the same day I start.

Following my own advice that I give my runners I am:
Trying to reduce stress this week. Except for the small thing of quitting a job and starting a new one. No stress in that right?
Being kind to myself- I'll get back to you on this.
No strength training- I'm not going to get any stronger between now and Sunday so I'm going to save hitting up the P4S Bootcamp this week.
Eat well- breakfast this morning was a Clif bar, does the job for about two hours. half a pot of coffee. Yeah that needs some more attention.

The new job may change my sleep schedule soon. The hour long commute in the morning puts a crimp in my 6:00am runs. They may become 5:30am runs. I know cry me a river. It's getting nice so the mornings will be good to run.
