I need to do more strength training during the next 20ish weeks; I've got a voucher for Pure Barre in Boston, if that ever opens. It was supposed to open at the beginning of the month. I'm still waiting.
Will I be able to raise all of the money I need? Or will I crash and burn?
I got fitted for new sneaks a few weeks back. Here's to hoping they make me super speedy.

You are going to ROCK IT. You haven't failed me yet :) Plus you're like my running coach/guru. So I have no doubts.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of being my running coach: advice- 5k is at 10am on Saturday, what do I eat before? I don't eat eggs or meat. And can't run on an empty stomach. I thought you might have some good ideas!
I am so nervous for you. But also, you'll kick this marathons ass. AND maybe you should try the crossfit to get strong?
ReplyDeleteI just moved to Boston a few months ago so I'm still getting familiar with the area - I'm curious where you went to get your sneakers fitted, I definitely need to get a new pair. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Bean! I highly recommend any of the Marathon Sports locations; they know how to fit really well and never try to force you into buying if you're not ready yet.
DeleteThanks!
DeleteI can totally relate to where you're coming from...even though I'm not running a marathon. I know those same fears would float through my head! (Although you've definitely got me thinking maybe I should try to raise money to run?) The hardest part about training for me is balancing running with other things (strength, yoga, cross). I just can't seem to manage it. Good luck girl! You'll do it! Hope those shoes help! I have GOT to get fitted.
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me. You're going to do great! I'm really excited to hear how marathon stuff progresses.
ReplyDeleteYou are a brave gal - running marathons sounds wickedly scary to me. I'm not a runner whatsoever. I do however love Pure Barre! There's one here in Beverly Hills (California, not Mass :)) and it's great!
