Today was a core and lower body workout, but I did not have my partner in crime so it wasn't as fun as it normally is - we usually cheer each other on while making fun of ourselves struggling to strengthen muscles that are angry we are making them work rather than sitting on the couch.
The more we workout and run the more I feel my body getting stronger. But just like everything else I need to break my body back in. Because some days I feel strong, energetic ready to take on the day.
Today my core felt good and although the core exercises were difficult they weren't impossible. And I can really feel myself getting stronger, but when I was working on my legs I could tell that although the running is making them stronger, there are muscles in my legs that still need to be strengthened to carry me the 26.2 miles.
I am becoming very excited. And I am realizing that this marathon is not only challenging me physically, but mentally. I have been thinking a lot about my life and the direction it's heading and whether or not I am happy about it.
So I am really glad that I am training my body and mind. And as I add mileage it gives me time to think about what will happen next.
Stay tuned...
