Ahh today was the perfect Saturday- I got up this morning and went to MIT to run- I did 5 miles in a little over an hour so not too bad (not fast by any means but not horrible), it was a perfect day for a run- sunny and cool. I had a lot of fun out there on the trail- and next week we get to explore a whole new trail system!
Then I got a nap, and now I'm going to clean up my scrapbooking area in the basement so that perhaps I can actually scrapbook down there in the near future.
It's been a perfectly relaxing Saturday! Hope yours has been the same.

New Season- New Goals
A brand new season of Marthoning is about to begin! I love beginnings, and the start of something new, it's like hitting the reset button and we get to begin again- fresh. New Goals, new opportunites for success, new challenges.
This season I'm going to train to run my second marathon- simply amazing to me as the girl who used to say all the time I would only run if someone was chasing me. I am so looking forward to getting out there and beginning this journey again. I know more what to expect this time, like how hard a 20 miler can be and how it can be so much better when you share it with friends. What to eat and what NOT to eat as the case may be. :)
I've picked the Marathon I plan on running- Tow Path Marathon on October 11. It's a Marathon near where I grew up and it's flat as a pancake, which is good.
I'm putting out my Goals for this season here in writing so I can come back to them at the end of the season and see how I did:
1. No missing any planned weekday runs.
2. Speed work on Wedensday nights- even if it's painful and I have no clue what I'm doing- I'm still going to get out there every week.
3. Weights twice a week without fail- I always do poorly at this so I'm recommitting.
4. Eat well- To quote my dear friend Katia- "Food is fuel it's not your friend", so making a commitment to eat better and fuel my body better.
5. Run a faster Marathon than I did last fall (see #2)!
I'm looking forward to this season! It'll be a good one I"m sure.
Getting ready to hit reset!!
