I've been trying to pick up the pace lately, running 4x a week and doing pushups/situps (for now) 2x a week. So far so good (2 weeks in anyhow!) I need to become more regular before I can hope to get in marathon shape. Distances are still low (2.5 to 4 miles) but I'm ok with that until I can get in the habit of working out somehow every day.
I'm going to see The Spirit of the Marathon tonight, to hopefully get my inspiration quotient up. The cold snap and lack of running partners has made it hard.
I'm hoping to run a NYRR race next Sunday, can't remember if it's 4 or 5 miles. Will be good to get out w/a bunch of other people. Wanted to run the MORE marathon (just women, would do a half) but won't be ready for 13 miles by april without injury I don't think.
