The Pros and Cons of Training

I thought it would be nice to write a post about what life has been like since I have decided to take a break from training for another Marathon. I have come up with a list of the pros and cons, as it hasn’t been easy even though it’s been nice.

 Let us start with the Cons

• Not being able to eat those 500 extra calories because I am burning energy like nobody’s business.
• Morning runs!!!
• Training with my running buddies.
• Having a goal in mind.
• Getting excited about the race!

Now let’s talk about the Pros

• Not having to get up at the CRACK of dawn to run!!
• Not being sore the week after a long run.
• Being able to hit the gym and Hot Yoga.
• Not stressing about getting in a long run on the weekends.
• Enjoying my Saturday night’s with my Hubby.
• Running for FUN!
• Taking Bosco for long walks
• Working out at home
• Not spending an arm and a leg for a racing fee.
• Being able to take a day off or two and it’s ok.

So overall training has been missed, but the time off has been just as good!!!!

I am gearing up for a Healthy Thanksging week of a little of everything..

Monday: An hour and a Half of Hot Yoga
Tuesday: 5 mile run + KB
Wednesday: Yoga+KB
Thursday:Turkey Trot
Friday:Rest..
Saturday: Hitting the GYM for a bootcamp (my own).
Sunday: Yoga

Question: What are some pros and cons of training for you?
