Weather has definitely gotten cold. We ran at 4 am Sunday morning and it was 27 degrees at the start. Brrrrr
Completed my last "long run" on Sunday and now its time to taper and prepare mentally for the marathon. I believe I have a good plan in place, nutrition, water, salt etc. Now its just time to see if my plan works.
Monday-Planned day of rest
Tuesday-6 miles (almost negative splits)-10:06 pace, 1 hour and 1 minute..controlled and steady run
Wednesday-Swim 1000 yards (work with swim coach) ...30 minutes
Thursday-Only going to run 6 miles---9:34 pace, 58:08..28 degrees at the start..only 4 of us showed up today
Friday-Swam, but not 1 mile..used the kick board a lot today..basically swam for an hour but not for distance
Saturday-going to a race to help out. I think I'm working the registration
Sunday-Run 12 miles

I don't see my trainer every time I'm at the gym. I see my trainer 2x a month. But, long story short, while the number in my profile doesn't tell the whole story, I'm down 150 pounds. Every penny I spend on working out and my health is more than worth it.

That's true... I guess waiting would be giving myself the chance to fail, I can't allow myself to fail.

You pay for a trainer and it will keep you accountable..no one wants to give money away..

Ok I will speak with one tonight. I was trying to wait until I developed a routine cause they can be pretty expensive but if it's the way to go from day one, I guess I gotta do it. I just can't let myself slack so I'm getting my moneys worth.

I highly suggest that you get a trainer to help you develop a plan. I started working with one before I had surgery to prepare a routine for post surgery. My trainer has laid out my plan for my needs. We meet every 2-3 weeks to switch things up.

which weight training exercises do some of you do? I'm doing my weight training as instructed but I'm all over the place. I do glutes, legs and chest basically every time I go. I'm being told I should have specific days for each part I'm working on.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I don't want to get a trainer until I've completely developed a habit of attending the gym. It takes 6 weeks for most people to develop a routine and stick with it and I was given clearance to workout a week ago. I have a long road ahead of me with this working out stuff but it must be done. I'm down 34lbs in a month and a half which is amazing but I'm beginning to see signs of loose skin and want to minimize that as much as possible.

Finishing is sometimes a bigger win..

Thanks! It just takes practice. And a willingness to eat dirt every once in a while.
