Monday February 9: Running day off. Did some upper body as well as some good stretching and foam rolling. The foam roller kills and feels great at the same time, especially on the IT band on the outside of my leg. I should do it every day!
Tuesday February 10: Ran 3 in a little over 24 min. Weights and lots of stretching too. I had some unexpected extra time. Taught boxing at night.
Wednesday February 11: OFF DAY.
Thursday February 12: Brutal 5 miles in 39:31.
Friday February 13: Decided to take today off.
Saturday February 14: Boxing class. Lotta work, lotta sweat. Loved it.
Sunday February 15: Group 6 mile run. MUCH colder than I expected. Nice easy Post-Valentines day run with my sweetheart :-). About 57 minutes.
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.
