Training for the Newport Marathon began on Monday! I have a goal. The next 18 weeks are about getting to the starting line healthy and to the finish line less than 4 hours later. I know I can do it, but it scares me a whole lot! I need to stay focused, but still relax and have fun with it. This training cycle is about strength, flexibility and listening to my body. Increasing my mileage is a given, but I am also going to focus on total training hours. One of my struggles in racing is nerves. I truly believe some of my issues in past marathons have been caused by anxiety. So I am going to train hard, but leave the final results to God.
