Training Underway!

This past Monday, June 15, was the official start to my 16-week marathon training, but I ran the first week of the training program last week. I've added new routes with more hills - and I'm already noticing the difference in my strength and confidence. I mapped new 10, 12 and 14 mile routes - I think variety and new routes will be one of the keys to keeping my momemtum. I'm happy with my short progress with core strength and yoga. But the best news of all is that my knee is feeling pretty darn good! The exercises that Andrew prescribed for me to strengthen my quad is working.

I know it's early, but I'm going to celebrate the successes I've had since the Stillwater Half to work on my core, my knee, my flexibility and my attitude!

  1. You should celebrate! Every little thing that keeps you going on this thing is a celebration, gnomie.
