Today my training for the marathon began. I have been running/ walking on the treadmill, but it was actually nice today finally so I was able to run outside. Different since our neighborhood is the Rocky Mountains. My uncle told me there was a great training program in Runners World online, so that really was a great resource!! They say to start running/ walking in intervals and increase the running slowly (actual set times for each week) and do this 4 days per week. The focus in the beginning also is on the amount of time not miles, so I went for 30 minutes. Nice! 30 minutes free of crying and hanging on my leg! What a treat! I am going to do a 5K first in April just to get my feet wet. I am really excited about it- it felt great and love having a goal!
Then about an hour later, I did go get a coffee- yum!!!!
