3-Day

[jayfurr]

I started my Breast Cancer 3-Day training, such as it was, yesterday with a 2.5 mile walk. I'd meant to do more this past weekend but I was still battling the aftereffects of that horrible cold, and so was Carole. So no walking.

Be that as it may, I doubt that many casual readers of my livejournal are really going to be all that interested in daily or thrice-weekly posts about my training log. (And besides, I still feel a bit silly about 'training' to walk sixty miles when I have co-workers 'training' to run a marathon on Memorial Day. Always deprecate my own efforts, that's me!)

So I've created a custom friends group that all subsequent (or most, anyway) training-relating postings will be posted under. If you want to be in that group, let me know and I'll add you and you'll be able to see them. Casual readers, however, won't.

I meant to mention some time ago, kudos to you for aspiring to do this. My husband just ran his first half marathon this past weekend, having made up his mind to do so less than a week before it was held. He had little time to prepare for it, but he did phenomenally well, I think, finishing in the top third, I think it was, in his age division. Granted, he is a Marine, so he runs on a regular basis, but he had never, ever, not once ran that far in one shot. So, if you put your mind to it, and with proper preparation, it can be done. He is now aspiring to do the Marine Corps Marathon in a few months. And is preparing for it now.

Just wanted to say, even with minimal preparation, which I see that you are doing way more than that, it is very possible to be successful at your endeavor, and I wish you the best of luck and good health and strength to finish well.

You do know to add me, right? *wink*

Already did, actually. You and Carole were the only people I added by default.
