You know you’re training for a marathon when…
- You have tan lines defined by a sports bra rather than a bikini top
- Your iPhone arm strap must be washed on a weekly basis
- You hear your kids say, “Mommy, you’re stinky,” several time a week
- You’ve peed in the great outdoors
- You can out eat your husband
- You’re dog could run the race with you
- You’ve seen 2 full phases of the moon during your morning runs and will see 2 more before race day
- You wash your running clothes on the hottest setting
- You walk around your house with a bag of frozen vegetables strapped to various body parts
- Your scent of choice is eau de Tiger Balm
- You’re very thankful for the sacrifice your family has made for you to reach your goal 🙂

Today marks the end of our third week for training for the Space Coast Marathon that will take place the Sunday after Thanksgiving. I am happy to say that I have been able to pretty much stick with the training schedule. I’ve missed a couple of days, and had to rearrange some days, but that is to be expected when you have 3 young children, the start of a new school year, and a temperamental fridge that has cost several hours of work!
We chose to follow the intermediate plan of Hal Higdon. Here is the 18-week plan:
