Alright closing out the month and my vacation . I did miss one workout during week 4 but all in all I'm happy that I was able to do what I did while on vaca. Week 4 (first week of taper for my March marathon) saw me do 30 miles total (of my planned 36) so with those 30 and my bonus day today (5 miles) I'm at a total of 176 for the month.
Soon after I got married, I decided I needed to get motivated to work out and focus on getting back into shape. I could barely jog a quarter-mile without needing a walk break.
I think quite truly for the first time I 'get it'. It's not just about the fitness. It's not just about the great little endorphin rush as you hit 5, 10, 15 miles...its not just the medal at the end.
