Let me start by saying I was always in pretty good shape. I figure skated competitively for about 10 years which involved pretty rigorous training, both on and off the ice. My endurance and stamina were top notch back then, not to mention my metabolism was awesome…I think it’s working only part-time these days 😉

Back story: I have not done a training run since December 10th; however, I did run a half marathon on January 19th and another half marathon on February 23rd. I did not train AT ALL for either one. And even though they both went fine it’s not something I’d recommend as I was quite sore for several days after each race day.
Present day: I have signed up for my 2nd full marathon to take place at the end of May. I’ll be updating my “week in workouts” leading up to the race. This is kind of like a “couch-to-marathon” journey if you will.
