Ace and I have taken a different approach to these not so original preparation methods. Since beginning to train for our half, we've eaten pizza at least seven times, ingested approximately three gallons of ice cream, and devoured an endless amount cookies, cheese its, and Dr. Pepper (this training schedule is available for those of you who are interested).
We burn calories and prepare to run by watching movies, playing Rock Band, and talking more than any two people I've ever met. Sometimes we feel guilty by all of the time we spend in this strict regimen, so we take a casual stroll around the river near our apartment.
These have all seemed like fabulous training methods...methods that seasoned marathoners would be in awe of....then, Ace and Jams realized that the half was less than six days away.
Now, one may hypothesize that Ace and Jams would fervently attempt to prepare for the half with six days to go. Now, if by fervently you mean watching movies, talking about walking, working, chatting on the computer, eating a lot, and scheduling a tentative walk for Wednesday...you would be correct.
This should lead to one exciting Sunday blog.... :)
(*P.S. This blog is dedicated to Maggi Rothwell (e.g., one of Jam's BFFs) who has endlessly harassed Jams for the last two weeks. Ace and Jams will henceforth attempt to blog on a more regular basis.)
