The Marathon Chronicles - Week ummmm... who the heck knows

This marathon training is definitely going better than my last two attempts. We ran 12 miles for the first time two weeks ago and will run that distance this weekend. I'm feeling pretty healthy for the most part. I do come home with some aches and pains when I run more than 10 but that really is to be expected.

The running during the week isn't quite as consistent as I would like. I am finding that even though I'm not caring for a small child, just having one in the house makes working out a challenge. Well... it wouldn't have to be if I were OK with her eating chicken nuggets and pizza rolls everyday but I'm not.

I'm trying to start running in the morning and then maybe at lunch once we have cooler weather here. The morning thing is not an easy thing unless I have a lot on my mind and I just happen to wake up at 4am. It did happen a few weeks ago but not this week! I am only averaging 2 out of the 3 weekday runs most weeks. I'm sure it will be enough but I just hate not feeling like I have the time. Hopefully the weather will change soon and I can start the running at lunch routine.
