Slashing Tires and Making Up Days...

If you get a flat tire, I doubt any of you will get out of your car and slash the other three tires - that wouldn't make any sense. No , you would get out the spare, jack your car up and replace the flat tire. No big deal, just a minor inconvenience. The thought of slashing the other three tires is ludicrous.

Throughout this marathon training, you are going o have some blowouts. I've anticipated those in my schedule and I want you to know that is nothing to stress out over. When the blowouts occur, don't slash the whole program, or the rest of the week, just fix the flat by getting back on the horse the next day. That's all you have to do.

If you blow a meal and gorge on a whole pizza, don't gorge the rest of the day. Fix the tire and eat healthy the rest of the day. We ALL will have blowouts - that is to be expected. No biggie! Don't quit!

Just as it is important not to slash the three other tires, it is imperative that you don't try to catch up for lost time. If you miss a day to work or other things - you missed a day. Let it go! Don't try to make it up. It is passed and you can get back on the horse with the next training day.

Perfection is not needed in training for a marathon - just progression.
