Marathon Training - Week 1



Monday: 3 miles
Tuesday: 4 miles
Thursday: 3 miles
Saturday: 5 miles
Total for the week: 15 miles (403.2 to go!)


This week Brian and I started our marathon training. I ran 3 of my 4 runs with the kiddos in a jogging stroller since Brian's still out in New York. It was a hot week for running, but I know that's not going to get any better as the summer goes on. The key is staying hydrated!


Our training is based on the book "The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer" that Brian got me for Christmas. It has an average of five stars on Amazon with 184 reviews, so I figure that it must be pretty good. I read the content, but I'm just starting to put it into action. It has useful and intersting information but we'll see how the application goes. If you're interested in running a marathon (or a half or a 10k), give it a read!



Wish us luck!
