Practicum #3

Woah! So it has been a long time since I have posted a blog about my practicum. Luckily, I have been keeping up with it quite well. About a month ago, my roommate talked me into signing up for a marathon. Since then, I have been following a 6-month training program so to run the Madison Marathon in May. Of course, my roommate has now backed out so I'm faced to train by myself. I have been using online support groups with other people training for a marathon. It has actually been quite helpful. Even though I don't have to see these people, I feel like they are depending on me to actually run when I say I am. I have been using these different types of marathon support groups almost everyday. I have found one through SupportGroups.com and one through a Facebook group. Also, I have potentially found a running partner in the Madison area. I knew that there are quite a few people who run in Madison so I figured that at least someone would being training for the same race. I have yet to run with this person, but I will in the next couple of weeks. I'm still a bit skeptical because I am meeting someone from the Internet. Hopefully, he doesn't turn out to be a complete creep. I may bring my roommate just in case.
