Day 1 of Training
Well, training should have theoretically started on Monday of this week, but since I just got released from the hospital on Thursday of last week, I'm having some challenges. Not to worry, though, I'll definitely get there! In keeping to the schedule, today is a Rest day. Gives me a moment to take a breath, do my daily calisthenics, and think about tomorrow's run, which should be a 7 miler. If it's not 100F, I can probably run walk that with little trouble. Glad to be off the meds as of today. Hard to fuel on this lousy, low-residue diet, but I'm doing the best I can! Don't forget to donate! If you want to go mile by mile, that's fine, too. I'll try to post every mile I run, so y'all can keep up with your donation schedule! :-)

Hi Cinder! What an amazing idea you had to do something like this! I will definitely be following along to see how both your training, and the scholarship drive progress. Go easy this week -remember, just like in our animal training, it's better to start slowly, rather than have setbacks and problems down the road. I'm excited for you! carol (intothewild on your followers list)
ReplyDeleteLove this fundraising idea. Want to promote it/you on the public STLADM Facebook page, if that's OK with you. Let me know with a Ya, or Nay. :)
ReplyDeletePlease take it easy. Proper food/fluid intake and energy are a dynamic pair that is delicate to balance. I've heard all about it from my now (2 time Ironman, and various Tri's, hubby Jeff). He's contemplating offering coaching tips to those interested. Gina (& Bebe).
