The first Run is in the Books!

Workout: 7 Miles

Today was the beginning of my NYC Marathon Training Program. I’ll be training with the KAR/Gazelle program again this summer. Last year I think I burnt out driving to Kalamazoo on Saturdays as well as Tuesdays & Thursday for the various run. This year I’m going to stick with the Saturday runs and then try to make it to speedwork training on Tuesdays. But if I have to miss it that’s OK too.

This morning we ran 7 miles through Western’s Campus. It was pretty fun but I just about puked on a long uphill. Looks like I will have to get some more hill workouts into my program. I lined up with the 9:30 pace group. I think we were actually running a little faster (9:15’s) which seemed fine. I may need to bump up to the 9:00/m pace before we are done, but for now this seems like a good crowd.

Anyway it’s good to be underway again. I’m finding it tough to run at night though so I am going to try to make myself run in the mornings. We’ll see how that works out.
