I'm pretty pleased with week one results.  I thought to myself Friday night, "I'm scared out of my mind to run 8 miles" but then I made it!  I was a little off course on the run and Stacey had to pick me up, she only had to get me because we had to go somewhere and I had to rush home, I could have finished at 11 miles that day.

This next week is a similar work out other than Saturday jumps up to 9.  Looking forward to it!

Official Training

Holy Shit!  Back in December/January I came up with this crazy idea to run the Twin Cities Marathon.  I knew a gal from work Bree Williamson put together a 12 week training program that I stuck to fairly well for the first 6-8 weeks.  I was pretty excited early on and enjoyed working out with my Bro Drew but that didn't work out for the long hall.  Now its June 5th and the marathon is 119 days away!

I'm using Hal Higdon's Novice 2 plan.  Hopefully I'll give you weekly updates, I was horrible at this previously so we'll see if I can do better now. I am going to look for a Half Marathon to do in week seven because I am scheduled for a 14 mile run that Saturday so why not just participate in a half?  The favorite part of a run is the starting, I love the pattern of the feet pounding on the pavement.
