Marathon Training Has Started

To bring myself up to speed since my interest in blogging waned mid-March. I finished the 10K in 1:07:42, 1 second ahead of Mr. E. Of course the one second was due to the fact that my timing chip happened to pass one mat later or earlier than him, but it was one second! Ran a 5K in Mid-May at 33:08 (approximately). The course for that one was about 75% uphill with one REALLY steep downhill at the end. Not bad and got a cool medal.

Yesterday Marathon training started. 24 weeks of work for one race. The first few weeks are nice 3 mile runs for the most part, so I'm excited. The first group run was pretty good. I'm in the bottom 3rd time-wise in my novice training team, but at least there are people my speed! I think most of the slower people are doing the Saturday training instead of the Sunday one. Got to go with your schedule though.

I will try to be better about blogging with the Marathon team. We are scheduled for a half-marathon in August, so here's looking towards that!
