started training on 11/1
first things:
set a goal for the Marathon:
under 3 hours 30 minutes (8 minute miles) (SMART aim: on April 18, 2016, I will run the Boston Marathon in 3 hours 29 minutes 59 seconds or less.
measures:
# runs/week
miles/week
steps/day
long run each week
miles below marathon pace goal/week
number of upper body/core work outs/week (goal 2); cross training things/week
weight (Mondays). % body fat (monthly)
calories/day (starting 11/2 and using my fitness pal)
balance:
injuries
First training run was 11/1: ran for an hour, 6.5 miles. fell in the first mile running along Mission in Salem. Great beginning but just some road rash and kept going. Captured on my Garmin. First month plan is to increase my weekly miles consistently. Not worry too much about distance at any one run. I ran a 1/2 marathon on 10/25 in Portland. not that fast but good enough. Ultimately, I would like to be doing about 50 miles/week by March.
