I decided to create a blog to track my marathon training because it is easier to update. This will also allow me to post more often so you can learn all about my runs and training!
Last week I was in Spokane, WA at our family's lake cabin where there is a 4-mile scenic loop that I did some running on. I ran my longest run yet....5.3 miles on Friday! I'm finding that the first two miles are TERRIBLE because it is really hard to get going. After the 5.3 miles, I stopped and had a gatorade and some snacks with my mom and aunt before walking another mile home (in the rain). I've been pretty lucky with the weather so far. The extreme heat we had two weeks ago was very miserable for exercising and kept me inside most of the time.
I will go to track night this Wednesday with Team In Training (TNT) where they will show me some new moves! Actually, they will help me make my stride more efficient and calculate how long the marathon should take me (yikes!). Looking forward to both those things.
I want to send a huge THANK YOU!!! to those of you who have contributed to my fundraising and my training so far! Even words of encouragement help me endure the first two miles I run every day. :)
