The Training Continues…
Well I am a little late in giving an update on my marathon training but never fear as I have been hot on the trail the past few weeks.
My routine of Monday 3 miles, Tuesday 4 miles and rising 1 mile per week, Wednesday 3 miles and Friday 9 miles and rising 1 mile each week is working out well. That being said, I come to love my short runs and dread the long ones. Mostly I have to fight off boredom and fatigue when I run for so long. I want to run faster so I can get done faster but then that makes it all that more difficult. You see the difference between a 9 minute mile and a 10 minute miles when running 9 miles is a whole 9 minutes and that is a long time, Don't you think??
In related news, I am happy to report that I have a two new running buddies, Justin and Emmanuel. Both of which are experienced runners who push me to run harder. Justin is on staff with the charity that I volunteer with and Emmanuel is a friend of a friend. They are both great guys so it’s nice to have some company as I train.
I also have been doing a little bit of cross training. In addition to all the biking I do all over town, I am now a regular on a tag rugby team and at a football (soccer) pick up game every Monday night. I wouldn’t consider either sport one of my best but its fun to get the exercise and meet some people in the process.
Well that’s about it. I run 10 miles this Friday so hopefully that goes well. I hope to give another update in a few weeks.
