Progress

Things are going good, even though it's cold outside. I have been making full use of my gym membership with the track and treadmills. I would like to run outside but I just can't handle the cold or afford to buy a fancy new winter running wardrobe :)

Hopefully it will start to warm up a little so that the majority of my training will be done outdoors instead of on the treadmill... it's just not the same.

So, in short, all is good and I'm on my way to my goals :)

Pre-training

Well I will officially start my training program in a few weeks but since I have been more than a little lazy so far this winter I have to pre-train to get myself good enough to complete the training program. I have been running 1 or 2 miles each time I hit the gym to get my body used to running again and am well on my way to being able to comfortably run 3-4 miles most days of the week.

Eau Claire Marathon

The Eau Claire Marathon is Sunday May 3rd! There is a full marathon, a half marathon and a 2 mile fun run.

I will be running the half marathon and it will be my frist time running this distance! I've got a great training program to help make my first attempt a great success...

Anyone wanna run with me??
