16 weeks and 737.2 miles sounds like a lot! I knocked 4 miles out yesterday so I guess I'm down to 733.2 and 4 miles to do tonight so I'm under 730 now! I'll be done before I know it. I did have my first difficult run right out the gate though. I have been feeling great and after the Warrior Dash I was ready to rock this program. My first run, last night, was an easy 4 miles at a target pace of 7:36. I'm just calling it 7:30's. That seems to be my standard pace for most my runs that first part of my program. Boy, my legs sure did feel sluggish and at points the pace seemed a little fast. I blame in on the humidity...and poor diet. I have not been eating like I normally do and will be remedying that real fast. Needless to say, as with any program, there are always tough runs and I'll just chalk last night up to humidity and a long weekend. I'm excited to get out and hammer tonight's 4 miles and see if I notice a difference.
Some big races coming up too! I have the Ragnar (MN) in a couple of weeks. The Torchlight 5k has been rescheduled so I'll be actually running that baby hard instead of chilling since I'm now in training mode. I have another Ragnar (Napa Valley) in September and am really looking forward to that. Plus some random races and a half or two before the big run in Philly in November. So much excitement coming up.
So, I'm off for run #2 and will be checking back in periodically. See ya out there!
