My Marathon Experience Month 1

January 27, 2014

Week one I'm officially DONE.
3 miles Monday 10.5 pace outside
4 miles Wednesday 10 min pace treadmill
3 miles Thursday 11 min pace treadmill
5 miles Saturday 10.2 mile pace outside

Was sick with a cold this week, but felt better after a couple visits to the chiropractor. Hoping to keep pace at 10.5 through out training. Concerns: need orthotics, continue to get trigger point injections and adjustments for neck/shoulder pain. Remember to get water belt and gels for runs over 10 miles.

Shoe mileage log: 30 miles
Note to self: don't run past Taco Time, smells like "stop running and go inside to have a taco."

Week 2
3 miles Monday pushing Charlotte in jogger stroller 11 pace
4 miles Wednesday 9.5 pace outside
1.5 miles Friday 12 mile pace treadmill + weightlifting class
6 miles Saturday 1 mile on indoor track rest on dreaded treadmill. Not sure of pace but it was super slow.

Out of town most of the week made for an interesting training week but I made due. Note to self: get a roller bar for sore muscles.
