Determination and Focus!

Since Dam to Dam I haven't been doing so well. I bruised my right big toe and have now lost almost the entire toenail and it is a little sore. I have had a hard time getting out there lately with a lot of stuff going on. However, tomorrow is 16 weeks until the marathon and most training plans are 16 weeks, so I feel pretty good about getting back at it next week. I've got to plug away to accomplish this goal. I got a "new" training plan from www.marathonrookie.com - here is my new 16 week plan.

It's going to be a lot of hard work, but I am determined to do this and know that I can. I just have to stay focused!

Week 2 on Saturday I am running Midnight Madness in Ames - it's a 5K run in downtown Ames and is a lot of fun. That's a little "extra run" I'm throwing in there!
