Monday April 13: No running, no workout. I walked around Epcot in the new shoes all day.
Tuesday April 14: No running, no workout. I walked around Disney Hollywood Studios in the new shoes all day...even with Tornadoes all around us.
Wednesday April 15: No running today. Work in the morning+Justin watch at the pool +Dinner in Downtown Disney=No running or workout.
Thursday April 16: Crazy travel day. Got nothing done. This was an awful training week.
Friday April 17: Ran a decent 6 miles.
Saturday April 18: Boxing class and that was all. Kind of sore from last night's run.
Sunday April 19: The last long run (12 miles) before tapering down for the race. Felt pretty good overall, just struggled a bit the last 2 miles. I'm pretty happy with how the newer sneakers feel. I'll go with those on race day.
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.
