This blog is about my running experience. I am not a physician, nutritionist or personal trainer. I am a runner. I do not know it all. I am only writing from my own experiences. I finished my first marathon on June 3, 2012. Who knows where my feet will take me next!

Today's Run

This is my first week on my marathon training plan and I haven't followed it at all!  I switched up my rest days due to revival.  Les and I have plans for tomorrow, so I ran my LSD this morning.  About that LSD...

I ran the exact same route as last Saturday.  10 miles.  Last Saturday my pace was 10:21, today it was 9:47.  That is 34 seconds a mile faster!!  I was suppose to run a 10:04 pace, but I wanted to see how fast I could go.  I felt great, there was no wind, but I also kept a very steady pace.  My fastest mile was mile 10 at 9:32 and my slowest was mile 8 at 10:44.

I have never trained for a certain pace before.  I've always just gone for distances.  I can already tell a difference, both mentally and physically.  My plan is to post next week's training and results on a daily basis.
