For me the hardest part about starting to train for this race is starting. Jadon started taking a 2 - 3 hour nap in the swing, so I figured that I could get my cross training and strength training done at that time. The only problem is that I couldn't run while he slept. My husband Josh suggested that I start getting up a 6AM and train at that time since Jadon had been sleeping till 7:30AM. Yuck! I hate getting up that early, but right now it is my only option.
Another obstacle for me is knowing how hard to train. My brain still thinks I am a college athlete, but my body is no where near that kind of shape. I did an "easy" workout and my legs were incredibly sore for days. That is so frustrating for me and I get down because of it, It is hard to stay motivated when I feel that way. I have to keep saying to myself that losing weight and getting back into shape is going to take some time. Make small goals and celebrate them!

Happy Training!
