Miles Ran Today: 4
Average Pace: 9:37 / mi
This was an easy recovery run from Sunday's half marathon. Although it was supposed to be a slower pace, I found myself pushing to run fast. I find it difficult to run at a nice easy pace. I suppose I need to gain this skill, as I will need it for my long run days.
When I began to attempt to train for a marathon again in November 2010, I was fortunate enough to discover I work with someone who has actually trained people for marathons. I talked with him about my desire to run a marathon, and he wisely talked me out of it. I hadn't been running regularly in several months, and the time needed to work me up to 20 miles just wasn't there. So we decided on the half marathon and decided it would be part of my training to a full marathon. In hindsight, wise decision; but I felt I was letting myself down by not deciding to run a full.
The story of my first marathon and the training to achieve it in under four hours.
