First official day

Ok maybe it is not my first day running but it is the first day on the runners world training schedule. The first week calls for 2 miles on Monday then 5 on Wednesday and 6 on Saturday. I know this is going to be hard. I did 3.5 miles today so I over did it a little. The reason you ask, well the schedule calls for speed work on the 5 miler but I don't want to do 5 miles of speedwork so I changed it to today. Some of the speed work was 6 min 58 sec mile speed. That is fast for me. I think the longest I ran that was a quarter of a mile. My lower calves are sore but hopefully fine. We will see. I am excited and worried all in the same thought. So far I have 2 friends running the same race so bring on the trash talk.

Later ya'll

I realize I am not everyone else

Lately I have been reading others blogs and have noticed that I train maybe more than most people but that is because they don't exercise at all. Of course these people are ironman athletes but still. They are like I train at least 12 hours a week and that is a light week. I am no were close.
I have started training for the Half pig. Since the beginning of the year I have had two runs and one ride. This is good since lately I have been taking a break. My food intake has been horrible but I feel that will come back into place when I get the exercise back in line. I wish to be a triathlete some time this year. The problem is that I will have to overcome the swimming part.
It felt good to get back out on the bike. After two days of working out I will take a day off. This will let my legs rest.

If you are reading this continue to cheer on our Boston bound friend. She started training this week I think.

First run of the year

Well it has been since thanksgiving since my last run. I ran the first day of the year and am feeling the slight effects of the run. I am planning on running the flying pig half marathon this year. Hopefully everything will go ok. I am planning on trying to do a lot of biking this year. Plus I would like to do a Sprint triathalon with a marathon in the fall. Those are my long term and changable goals for the year. You have to have a goal I always say. My buddy said he would run the flying pig so I am going to hold him accountable. My running partner and his wife is planning on doing Boston. Yea for her. To all who know her, cheer her on.
