I’ve had my heyday and it’s time to get my butt in gear! My big, blonde, butt needs a serious wake up call! Ring…. Ring….Ring…… Hello. Maren’s butt?. This is Maren speaking. I’d like to kick you from here to next Tuesday!
I’m going to try again…….
Max found this 1/2 marathon in Paso Robles on March 25th and he’s doing it. I’m going to try to run my first half marathon…. again.
It’s perfect because I can follow the training plan and if I’m not ready I can simply do the 5k. Max and I can still go together and have an absolute BLAST! Plus we can train together. I don’t know how much help I’ll be to him but he’ll definitely push me to run faster, farther and better.
For this 1/2 marathon I’ll be following the Hal Higdon Half Marathon Plan: Novice 1
I have 2 weeks to get my bootay back into running. Do you think I can do it???
I’ve been doing my workout DVD’s for 3 weeks and I’ve been focusing on cardio so I’m thinking it’s doable but it’ll be crazy hard at first…… :-S
It definitely wont be the easiest way to start training but I think my body can do it. Plus my ankle feels awesome, maybe all my cardio weight training for the past few weeks will really help. Muscles make a huge difference.
This Week’s Training Plan
- Monday: Run 2 miles + Pilates
- Tuesday: Billy Blanks Target Total Body
- Wednesday: Run 2 miles
- Thursday: Billy Blanks Cardio Inferno
- Friday: Trainer Kjirsten’s Quick Holiday Circuit
- Saturday: Run 2.5 miles
- Sunday: Take a break!!
Wow that week is kicking my bootay to next Tuesday!! It’s jammed packed.
I’m nervous…………. is this a good thing?.

You can SO do this! That is cool that you are making the decision to do this!
This weeks workout looks great. I am going to start back to my running the first of January. I have had this muscle thing in my abs that was driving me nuts! It’s finally getting to a point where it feels normal again.
I am so excited for you! Don’t forget to post about your run today!
Have a good day
Thanks for the encouragement! It makes such a difference. I’m so sorry you’ve been injured, I didn’t even know. Just don’t push it too hard at the beginning and re-injure your muscles.
YOU CAN TOTALLY DO IT!
YES!!!! LOL!
Girl, I’ll be training right there with you! Be nervous as long as you are excited too! I can’t wait to hear about it!
Are you training for a race too?
Not officially – I’m still nursing my hip/groin, but I did 9 miles on Sunday, so I’m feeling hopeful! What is your current diet/nutrition status?
Oh yeahhh… that’s so exciting!!!!!!!!!!
