Review Your Progess

This is week 4 of our training program. It's a good week to take stock and see how you are doing with your goals and training plan. Are your goals specific and measurable? Do you have a plan whether you will walk, walk/run, run/walk or run the Abe's Amble? Have you been doing your cross-training and stretching?

Eight weeks from today is when we'll be lining up at the starting line to run Abe's Amble. Will you be ready?

Susan Loken, winner of the 2005 USA Masters Marathon Championship in a PR of 2:43:10 in October 2005 talks in this month's issue of Running Times about how she keeps herself motivated and gives herself a boost when she's struggling in a race. She says, "I take a negative thought--'This hurts' or "I'm slowing down'--and turn it around: 'I trained really hard so I'd be ready for this.' " When you line up on August 20th, will you be ready to say, "I'm ready for this"?

Give yourself the boost you need--make sure your training plan matches your goal!
