Training

Marathon training is coming along well. Just completed a forty mile week. While not a lot for some runners I tend to max out at just under 50 for marathons.

I put in a good 16 mile run yesterday and followed it up with 8 today. I ran the first 6 as mile repeats at an average pace of 7:12 and then turned Garmin off for the last two. Not bad on a pair of tired legs.

GO MARY!

I've been running for two years now and yes I consider myself a runner. I was in fairly good shape when I started running so it wasn't as tough a transition as it might have been. I have a friend, Mary, and she is starting running for the first time in her life and is planning to run a marathon this summer as part of Team in Training.

All I can say is wow, go Mary, go!

Sort of X-Training

Walk for the Homeless in DC. A three mile stroll round the tidal basin.

New Shoes

Bought new shoes today. Asics GEL-Enduro. They are a trail shoe by design but very comfortable on my feet. I can't wait to go for a run in them.

Put in 5 miles today, hip felt a little sore but much better than it had been feeling. New shoes felt great on my feet. Temperature about 65, pace about 9:30
