hey ladies - I'm hoping some of the avid runners have stuck around. I am seriously contemplating signing up for a marathon on June 28. It's 14 weeks from now. I'm 11 weeks post c-section. Am I crazy and just asking for injury, or is this a reasonable goal?
Re: Runners??
And support wise, I know marathon training is time intensive. Do you have someone who will happily watch the baby while you train? Is that time with baby something you're willing to give up? When I went back to work full time after DS1, I was working 8-5 with an hour commute both ways so I was barely getting an hour of waking time with him daily during the week. I just wasn't willing to give up any additional time with him so my workouts had to fit into my lunch hour and his nap times on the weekends. Luckily with DS2, I have a better work schedule so that's a non-issue. Also something to consider, are you bf'ing? That kind of training can kill your milk supply if you're not careful. Just throwing out thoughts, hope it's helpful! If you're feeling physically and mentally ready to tackle it, go for it!!
