Well, here I am, with a new blog. I hope this one has some more staying power than the last. As a goal for this year I have decided to train for a half marathon and after conquering that obstacle running a full marathon. The half is quite a ways off. I am planning to run in the Steamworks Animas Valley Half Marathon in Durango, Colorado. Its scheduled for June 20 so I have plenty of time to get ready. Ultimately I want to run in the St. George marathon in October and if I can't get in, then maybe the Top of Utah marathon in Logan.
So here is my first entry in this running log. Presently I am doing my running on my treadmill since I don't want to run in the cold. It will work for now. I set the incline to a 1.0 as this is supposed to replicate the streets the best, even though I am pretty sure nothing is the same as getting out and running on the roads and trails. Anyway, here are the results for my first run:
Distance - 4 miles
Time - 33 min 30 sec
My ultimate goal is to run a sub 4 hour marathon. Not sure how lofty a goal that is. I'm guessing that the half marathon will give me a better idea of what I am capable of and I will adjust the goal accordingly. That's it.
