Marathon Training has begun

Oh boy, here we go. I started up in Lake Tahoe, not on purpose mind you, I just happened to be there on a trip. I was supposed to run 3 miles Monday morning to get things started. I ran 4.3 because I got lost in South Tahoe. I don't suggest getting lost since I ended up running up a very long and very steep hill. Ouch. The adventure has begun...

The full first week wasn't that much different than what I've been doing since New Year's - just a consistently longer week. Only one run under 3 miles and it ended with a 10K race.

Now I'm two days into week two and I feel really good. Tomorrow will be a big test with the 6 mile run on a Wednesday. The biggest challenge will be getting up early enough that I'm not late to work. Given that I'm carpooling with the wife, I should have the extra motivation to get out there on time.

Signing up for a half-marathon for mid-September. I'm looking forward to it and the opportunity to run in Fort Collins. More tomorrow....
