Check Up

Hello all! I hope all my friends and family who live in MN are enjoying this balmy 30+ weather we are having today! I know as a "runner" I love to see the temp go up, and the snow levels go down! I absolutely love running outside, but the snow/ice/cold keeps me in on the treadmill...So come on Minnesota weather, keep up the good work!

Anyways, I figured since I hadn't given you and update blog as of yet, I figured in between classes today I would. This week is officially the 3rd week of training, however, Bryan and I got together Friday night and re-vamped our training schedule. As many of you know, last year my schedule had me training 6 days a week. While it prepared us for a successful marathon, it took a major toll on my knees and my attitude towards running. So what Bryan and I decided to do was drop down to a 5 day a week schedule, with days off on Sundays and Wednesdays. I'm sure this schedule will be just as successful as it'll make it easier to stay with the runs because I know I'll have that extra day off.

As for how the training is going thus far: Yesterday I did a quick 3 mile run at Gold's during my "lunch break". I felt pretty good as I feel that I'm starting to get my stamina/wind back. Today is the first official day off due to it being Wednesday, however, the nice weather has me thinking I might put on the cold weather running gear my mother in law got my for x-mas and hitting the street. ...we'll see!

Also, for all of you readers out there...I know there's at least two of you....Please write something in the comments section as its motivating to know who's keeping up with you!

MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!

Dave
