I’m insane. At least that’s what I’m told after I get back from running 8 miles in heavy snowfall, cold and dripping wet. The big grin plastered on my face does little to avert concerns about my mental condition as I paste a sweaty kiss on my cringing girlfriend’s cheek and stumble to the fridge for a post-run beer.
Getting involved with cross country and track in high school has evolved over the years into running becoming both an addiction and a way of life. A major focus of my posts on this blog will focus on this sport, with my insights into a sport that I’m finally starting to feel a little knowledgeable about, as well as updates on my training. With the snow finally going away, I’m moving into a very big running year, with three major races planned, including my second marathon!
My goal is to post last week’s training regimen every Monday, with other posts about running topics, or potential diversions into music, science, and some nerdy stuff.
I’m currently trying to build mileage (up to 30+ a week) and consistency, with an attempt to increase overall speed as my body permits. I also have been walking to and from work, adding 3 miles of walking per day. My running for last week ending Sat, March 28th:
3/23: 2.89 miles, average 9:11 / mi pace.
3/24: 3.03 miles, average 9:39 / mi
3/25: 2.63 miles, average 9:00 / mi
3/28: 8.41 miles, average 9:01 / mi
Total mileage = 16.96 miles, plus another 15 miles with the walking
My training begins!
