Getting back to normal after two weeks of a sinus infection that morphed into an inner ear infection is no easy task. Amazing how the inner ear is so small and yet can hurt so much!
Time to start training for the 1/2 marathon in April 2012. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential 1/2 Marathon is 6 months away. I need to develop stamina and increase my speed during this time period. I have scheduled runs through October & November for short term goals to help keep me motivated. Needing to get some winter wear so that forcing myself out the door in February won't cause me to freeze to death! I know it is 6 miles from the Elkhart Blacktop to the Stagecoach. Realized that from about Fancy Prairie to the Stagecoach is around 13 miles. WOW. Who would ever, in their right mind, train to go that far? ME! Setting my sites on a Disney 1/2 Marathon in the next few years. How cool would a Disney park be after dark?
I have always planned short terms goals that feed into long term goals. The shorter races and training leading up to the 1/2 marathon are one of these plans that I am working on now. Hoping this leads to better health in my senior years is a longer term goal as well. Planning on being 70 and still running.
