Over the course of
this week, I had a long heart to heart with myself and realized I need a
fitness goal. Without a goal in mind, I tend to be more unmotivated to exercise
simply to be fit. Hubby has decided to do another ultra marathon - he did
the 50k (30 some miles) Booneville Backroads last year. This year he
wants to do a 50 miler. Yikes! No thank you, too much running for this
girl. But, he did get me thinking - I wouldn't mind running another marathon..
Technically I didn't finish the last one, about 4 years ago, due to insanely
tight IT bands. Also, I was listening to the radio today and the dj said
age 28 is the optimum year to run a marathon. I turn 28 in July so
perfect timing to start training for a fall marathon. Sometimes fate just
throws an idea right in your face. To finish the marathon this year, I want to
concentrate on keeping my IT bands mobile, so I don't have to ride the gold
cart to the finish. Here are some good IT band stretches to keep you
limber.
