I decided to start this blog to chronicle my journey to complete my third marathon. It has been two years since my last and I have not been terribly focused on running as of late. This blog is for me; a means to be accountable to my training and to keep a journal of my progress. The good and the bad. Be forewarned, there will probably be a fair amount of bad. Tears may be shed. I could pull my hamstring two days before the race and the epic drama when that fatal moment is revealed will cause the masses to stir. The blog-o-verse will come to a standstill for .000000008 nanoseconds as you all mourn for my injury. Enough with the negativity. Stay positive and all that good stuff! Now on with the content...
My Stats:
Half Marathon PR - 1:53:27 (08:39)
Marathon PR - 4:58:29 (11:24)
The plan for improvement this year... more training! I am going to follow Hal Higdon's marathon training program and shoot for a time somewhere in the 4:30 range. For those curious souls, Hal Higdon's training plans are freely available on the interweb at: http://halhigdon.com/. I will be following the novice training plan, since I am admittedly quite the novice.
The event this year is the Fox Cities Marathon. Race day is September 18th, 2011 and I will be ready this time.
