Monday February 2: Quads, sore. Calves, sore. Back, sore. 15 minutes of light cardio so I could simply stretch is all I could muster.
Tuesday February 3: Boxing Class.
Wednesday February 4: No time to run/train today. That sucks.
Thursday February 5: Again, almost no time to train. This week is HORRIBLE! Got in only 2 miles in 15 minutes, and some leg extensions and curls.
Friday February 6: Tough week. Nothing. Sunday's 5 miles should be fun.
Saturday February 7: Boxing class. I'm feeling my calves quite a bit lately. I think they might be getting used a bit too much.
Sunday February 8: The group 5 mile run in Ridgewood was as tough as I expected. 39:54.
I'm pretty excited to run my first marathon! OK, so its only a 1/2 marathon. There is still training involved. The Training Log Blog shows my daily exercise (or non-exercise) regimen starting with the week of my first running session with the Team In Training group. Honestly, it also keeps me from slacking. Some entries might be a little long (my wife is appalled) and I apologize. This is also serving as somewhat of a training journal for me.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Carolynn and I would like to thank everyone for all your support! The race is over, but the war against blood cancers is not. When its all said and done, we would've raised between $7,500 and $8,000 for the LLS. We couldn't have done it without caring people like you.
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
ABOUT ME
IN A NUTSHELL...
Although I am a personal trainer, what I am NOT is a running specialist. I haven't run long distances since High School, and my longest run back then was only 7.5 miles!
This being my first really long distance run, I will basically just train based on how my body feels, what I think I need to work on, and using the guidance of the great Team in Training coaches.
The focus: Train injury-free and finishing strong on May 3rd.
