So, No Boundaries is over with until June 14th. That's when the summer session starts and I plan to move into the 2.0 class. I'm a bit nervous, because that is about SIX weeks away, and then some! SIX WEEKS, not cool at all. What am I supposed to do until then?
I'm so afraid I'll loose what took me so hard to gain over the last 12 weeks. I need a schedule. I need a routine. I have trained my body with a set running and workout pattern that in the end became a reward to myself. My kids love routine, and I see what happens when we break it.
"I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO ME!"
I have talked with Pina and Tanya about meeting up to run along new paths or trails that they know of. I know Melissa and I have chatted about meeting up as well. However, it all hit me TODAY,when my husband signed me up to run the Corporate Challenge on May 29th. The CC is 3.5 miles. I'm not scared about it, but I also know that I can't just do things here and there and meet up when people are able to. I'm going to have to do things on my own. And, I need a game plan! NOW! I need something written down, predetermined, so I can follow it as best as I can! But how do I know what I need to do?
I did some reading and actually pulled up an 8-week 10K training schedule. The first few weeks look pretty doable, and I'm excited to see where this could take me. I modified it a little it and even put in exactly what I can do at the JCC to cross train. I've added my Pilates and Body Pump classes to it, and gave myself 2 rest days like NoBo gave me. Not only do I think it will put me in great shape for the Corporate Challenge, but it will make me feel pretty confident at the start of No Boundaries 2.0.
I go back and forth if I think about what I'm looking for or how I'm feeling. Am I excited to see what else I can accomplish? And these goals are what is pushing me... OR am I just so scared I'll go back to my old ways and loose the interest or ability to run that I'll do ANYTHING to avoid that. I hear it happens, and I don't want it to happen to me! It's like I made more than just a commitment to "learn how to run" at the start of February. I made a commitment to make sure I keep up with something that I now I can do, and really am starting to love... well, at least really like!
So, with that being said, here goes the next SIX WEEKS. Look out, I have a whole new schedule to follow! This girl has her plan of attack, so let's see she can do this!
