Week 2

Well, I made it past week 1 and I'm well into week 2 of my training for the Half Marathon in October. I've already encountered a couple obstacles though. The main obstacle being my stomach. It has been feeling bad in the mornings, but after it goes away it doesn't seem to be an issue until the next day. It could be something I ate this past weekend, or it could be something else. I'm still working on figuring that part out. It has only really impacted one of my runs, and it was a mental impact rather than physical, so that's a good thing.



The other obstacle is working my training around my soccer. As much as I want this goal for myself, my soccer is my passion, so I'm still trying to run and play on the same day. But I may have to change that up next week if tonight doesn't go too well. :o)



This is a great reminder of how a conditioning program of any kind works. There is always adjustments of some kind that must be made in order to reach the persons goal. As a Fitness Professional, it is our job to ensure proper adjustments are made at the right time in order to help our clients succeed. But it is important for the client to realize that along the path toward their goals, there may have to be some changes and 'experimenting' that occurs to find out what works best.



As long as consistency, dedication and focus remains - it's all good! :o)
