training for a marathon here!
I ran a 10K Saturday morning-- the Marina/Venice Holiday run. Ran it in just under an hour-- about 56 minutes.
Ran a 5K a few weeks ago. 29 minutes hungover. LOL
Am training to run the San Diego Rock n Roll marathon on June 2, 2002.
Right now I am only running about 3-5 miles 2-3 times a week. Will be stepping that up after the holidays--aiming to get in a 10 mile weekend run every weekend in January--then up it to 13 miles in Feb, etc until I am marathon ready.
I find the 1st two miles of any run the most difficult, am just hating it at that point--but once I cross the 2 mile mark, I seem to hit my stride, am not winded anymore and can go on for as long as time allows. The farthest I've run so far is about 8 miles. I've only been running for about 2 months.
