Up to today, the farthest distance I have run is 4.5 miles. I am a little concerned about that distance. I'm a little concerned about my lack of discipline! I am motivated now that I am actually out of bed, but I am consistently unable to pull my unmotivated butt out of said bed. I finally get up, head to the gym, start to feel great and then I run out of time, literally! I have to hurry home, shower and get ready for work. What's a girl to do?
No, really! What's a girl to do?
Most importantly, don't beat yourself up! Everyone has their own training routine, but for a beginner, I think it's okay to do lower mileage during the week with a long run on the weekend. That's what I do - 2-4 miles on each of my run days during the week, depending on time. Each weekend, I add one mile more to my long run (currently up to 7, which should put me right at 1/2 marathon distance the week before my scheduled race).
