As you know, I started my Flourishing Fitness Challenge because I entered into the lottery for the 2010 NYC Half Marathon in March.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to really start my training thing week due to an incredibly busy schedule. And, I just received notice that I was not selected in the random lottery drawing.
Although this is a downer, it may be a blessing in disguise.
Dori, who also was not selected for the lottery, wrote about doing the More Magazine/Fitness Magazine Women’s Half Marathon in April. (I think she has chosen to run the NYC Half for charity rather than the More Magazine Half.)
But I think I am going to sign up for the More Magazine Half!
It will give me more time to train and it will be in slightly milder temperatures; it’s on April 25th (the “perfect date”).
So, thanks Dori for the idea!
Therefore, I am okay with my lack of FFC this week and I think I am going to change my official START date to this Monday January 4th.
The training plan I am using is only12 week plan, so for January I have decided to ease into my training by substituting some runs with more “fun exercise” like classes and yoga.
And the BF is also wanting to up his exercise so I am excited for working out with him!
SO, if you are wanting to join me in this challenge, I am now starting on January 4th.
At the end of my post I will be posting my workout for the day. And you are more than welcome to post yours in the comments or email it to me to keep yourself accountable!
And also feel free to email me with any questions you may have!
