train for a marathon

I’m starting week 9 of training and completed last night’s 5 mile run at night with my headlamp and gear. Still looking good.

Ok, I’m done week 7 and even ran 12 miles on Thanksgiving day. Things are looking good.

Well, I decided to take week three off due to dealing with a massive head cold and congestion. So, this week I will be back at it starting on Tuesday and just pickup as if I hadn’t missed a week. Plus with Veteran’s Day occuring this week, I get to enjoy a day of running hopefully in the sun. :)

All,

I am currently using the Nike+ coach and just finished week 2 of my 28 week program. I am supposed to be ready to run a marathon by April 24, 2010. Week 2 had me run 18 miles total, this week its 21 total miles. The bad news is its been rainy here in Baltimore. I finished my long run on Saturday with 3 miles run in a cloud bursting rain.

The rain is just something I’ll have to get used to as I train even though it is alot more mentally challenging.
