I only have 10 days until my First Full Mary (!) and I thought I would share my thoughts and experiences as a countdown.
Lesson 10 – You will make plans around your runs
I have turned down dinners out, movies and parties because I had to get up early the next day to run. I have planned road trips around my long runs. When that is not possible I rearrange my running schedule to make sure I get a long run in (I was not very successful at this when I went to Florida). I always have it in the back of my head that Saturday requires an early start and hours of running.
I do my long runs on Saturdays and it’s something that I always think about when people ask about my weekend plans. Even when I don’t say it, my first thought is “Long Run Saturday” everything else is just icing…
oooh i’m super excited to read the 10 as you count down. what a great idea!!!
i will definitely be interested in thoughts + advice and i for sure agree with the first one 
i also do my long runs on saturday, like having it done with and relax on sunday. hehehe and also “the rest is just icing” i totally am thinking of ice like for legs and soreness, hahaha.
Love this! I totally agree. I always tell people that the hardest part of training for a marathon isn’t the running, it’s changing your schedule to make it a priority.
Good luck for your marathon in 10 days! So exciting!
