It has begun!
July 26, 2005 – 7:23 pmYou know that old saying, ‘Today is the first day of the rest of your life’? Well, I felt the truth of that a little more deeply than normal today - it’s the first day of my marathon training schedule.
Given the insane temperatures and heat indices we’re seeing around here this week (highs in the upper 90s, heat indices in the low-to-mid 100s), I decided to start off early and hit the roads at 6:30 for my inaugural three miler. I left the iPod at home so I could really get a feel for the run, and I had a good time. I had to work through a little lower-leg pain left over from the volleyball tournament on Sunday, but that was gone after a half-mile or so. I ran moderately slowly (still recovering from the sick), but I’d say it was a fine start for the next sixteen weeks.

Best of luck with your training. I’m sure you will be very successful.
