Today was the last "recreational" long run before training begins. Ten miles, nice and slow. It's actually pretty easy to get through these runs with a group. We're all suffering together and we'll all finish together.
I have sent out a few invitations to family an friends to follow me. (Hello to all of you and thanks for showing some interest.) I may very well have decided as of last night that I am going to go through with this thing. I guess when I clicked on that "Send" button I committed myself to this adventure. Let me tell you that I sat here and looked at that button for about 5 minutes before I clicked it.
Honestly, for the next 3 or 4 weeks it won't be much different than what I run normally. After that is when the work begins. My main focus for the next few weeks is to slowly start adding miles without hurting myself. (For those of you who don't know, I injured my knee in January from adding too much mileage too quickly training for a half marathon. Three weeks of no running and 10 visits to physical therapy make me a little more cautious these days.) BTW - I did get to run that half marathon at the end of April.
Until next time...
