Today was our 2nd group run and the end of Week 1. Easy 5 miles…..well they say it should be an easy 5 miles, meaning don’t push yourself and go easy. Me not really knowing my pace, went out a little too fast I think and definitely slowed down towards the end. Also this being Training Day #5, I’m a bit tired – and this is only Week #1! Coach Blake says that in order run far (like 13.1 miles) you have run far. Makes sense right? You need to build up your stamina and mileage. He also says that your body will start getting used to it at week 8. WEEK 8! That’s pretty far into it. Not to get discouraged or anything 😉 My coworker is training for the full marathon. His run today was 14 miles. I can’t even image! One day I will get there. Just need to stick to it, stay motivated! I am glad I did join the training program. Helps me stay on track.
So, Week 1 down, only 11 more to go! See you at the finish line.
