My Plan For the Winter

The Plan:

So what the heck am I going to do to keep myself motivated over the winter? Just the few weeks I took off after Detroit were tough. I seemed very lost and had a hard time motivating myself. So my plan is a two part plan…

Part 1: Complete the Miami Half Marathon in less than 2 hours. The Miami race is in late January (1/29) and should easily get me through the holidays. I’m using Hal Higdon’s Intermediate Training Program. This includes speed work and a lot more cross training.

Part 2: Complete the Indianapolis Mini Marathon in May. I am so fired up about this race. My family has been going to the Indy 500 for 30+ years. To actually be running on the same track as Danny Sullivan, Mario Andretti, and Al Unser is going to be so cool! I may even do a spin in the short shoot between 1 & 2 (If you’re an Indy Fan you’ll know what this means, or you can just ask!)
