Creative Outlet

A few months ago I decided to put together an "inspiration board." I thought it would be a nice way to decorate a blank wall, while also being a creative outlet. To put together the board I’ve found pictures or articles in magazines, torn them out and taped them together. I’ve slowly been adding things that I find, along with printing out quotes that I like from pinterest.

I joke (with Neville…) that my apartment still looks like I’m in college. Seeing as I don’t typically host guests, I’m pretty okay with that. Plus I don’t have any income to buy things, so I’ve got to be creative!

Since I liked making this inspiration board so much, I decided to also start one to motivate me for the Chicago Marathon. It’s pretty sparse right now, but I’ve got my training schedule, and some tips I found in Runners World Magazine. I hope to keep adding throughout the summer
and I’ll be sure to share it with you all!

I mentioned before that because I’m doing the CARA program, I’m following Hal Higdon’s Novice Marathon Training Program. Here’s what it looks like:

I might make the long runs a bit longer in the beginning, especially since I did 8 this past weekend instead of 6. Also, I’ve moved the Tuesday runs to Monday, so I’m not running 3 days in a row. I learned this past fall that running too many days in a row causes injuries for me, and I definitely don’t want any injuries this summer!

I’m also hoping to post my workouts for each week, that way you all can see what I’m doing to train. And I’m always welcome to suggestions and tips, this is very new to me!

Here’s last week:

Monday – 2 miles, full body strength training

Tuesday – upper body strength training

Wednesday – 4 miles

Thursday – 3 miles

Friday – 2.5 mile walk (active rest)

Saturday – 8 miles

Sunday – REST
