Week Four - Alki Pavement

Had a good long run for week for with my friend Nari and one of her marathon buddies. We went about 7 miles, with about 5 of that on the nice *flat* running path along Alki Beach.

Looks like I'm running about 10 1/2 minute miles now on flat pavement. It would be nice to get that down to somewhere in the 9's before the big race...

We'll see I suppose...

Week one: Base Training

So week one is all wrapped up. As you can see from my google docs training page, I didn't exactly follow the training schedule to a 'T'.

I do ride my bike to work every day, so I get an automatic 30 minutes of cardio twice a day. I wouldn't call it hard riding, but sometimes it is (whatever.. I know, just making excuses...)

I did, however, do my 45 minute trail run in Schmitz Park - which after the first 10 minutes, I felt surprisingly good. I really enjoy trail running, and I'm starting to think this is going to be a great, fun adventure.

Hmm... didn't drop any weight though this week. We'll see how next week goes....:)
