The Taste of Exhaustion - Day 11

I can't believe it will be almost 2 weeks since Casimiro & I started our training for the Nike Women's Marathon.

We each received our first donation from our awesome friend and supporter Angelica Ambrose! Thanks Gelatin Ambrosia! Your money will go to a great cause.

Today was cross training day and we did Pilates today. I love Pilates because it appears deceptively simple. By the end of the workout I was sweating and stinky. But anytime I do Pilates I always finish feeling really strong, which was no exception today.

Which was very nice especially after yesterday's workout. I needed something to boost my confidence & Pilates does that for me. Because its rigorous, graceful, and relaxing...Concentration is very important in Pilates which will be very helpful as we get farther up in miles. I will need to be able to focus and concentrate on running strong and efficient.

Again, having a motivating training partner is very helpful. And the nice thing about the workouts is that I do not want to miss a day because in my mind running a marathon means that every day counts toward a stronger body.

The taste of my exhaustion is the gentle ebb and flow of my breath in coordination with the movements of my body...YUM! *DEEP SIGH*
