Marathon Training Starts TOMORROW

I am running the first annual LaCrosse Marathon on May 3rd, 2009 (23 weeks from today) in LaCrosse, WI. Unfortunately, I haven't run a step in just over 2 months, so starting tomorrow I'll be building up my mileage so I can start this 16 week plan in 7 weeks.

This week's plan - 3 runs of 3 miles each - probably all on the treadmill since I'm a big baby and don't like running in the cold weather.

My time for my last marathon was 5:13:38, and this time I'm shooting for 4:22:00 (averaging 10:00/mile). I suspect that the LaCrosse course will be easier due to its flatness, and I'm planning on working much harder in my training, so I really think this is an achievable goal for me.

Let the fun begin!

Hello running... I've missed you!

Thanks MissAllycat! Looking forward to getting back on this horse tomorrow. Never should have taken such a long break.

Way to go! Glad to see you are getting back on track.

Some of your commentors are peeps that Steve in a Speedo talk about. Cool.
