Half-Marathon Training Week 1

This is the first official week of a 10 week training regiment for the half-marathon in late March.  Last night I completed the second run of the week, a short 3 mile loop through the community.  The first run was 3 miles 2 nights ago.  The first time was a slow 31 minute jaunt which was lowered to 29 1/2 last night.  Plus, last Saturday I went out for a 5 mile jaunt with D-Salazar around Burke Lake Park.

I've decided this is hard work.  Any single run isn't that big a deal, but repeated runs start wearing on ones commitment.  There are a lot more miles ahead and I'm sure hope it gets a bit easier.

Feeling good from my first new day at Guident, I took to the blacktop for a little running.  Next week is the official kick-off for the half-marathon training in late March.  I marched forward for about 3 miles last night, but was forced to walk a little with tightness in the right calf.  After getting home and feeling a little wimpy, I took to the recumbent for 25 minutes on level 5.

To my surprise, I can actually move around and get out of my chair just fine today!  An internal debate on whether to run again tonight is currently going on in my brain.
