Yup, it’s official. I’m training for my first marathon! I
started this week and I’m thankful to be using the Galloway Method due to the
intense humidity in NOLA. Phew! Post run, I’m a thirsty, tired, fatigued and
getting headaches. I’ve been chugging nuun and coconut water like it’s going
out of style! I think it is helping. I hope. This week I’m “base building” by
running 3 miles max. I’m cool with that since I’m still acclimating to the
weather here. I have found that hitting the road by 7 am is ideal, and
regardless of the distance, I need to bring a TON of water and some nuun. As my
distance increases, I will need to start up some salt tabs since I sweat like a
pig!
Regardless of the humidity, it’s a great day for running y’all!
