Marathon Training - wk one down!

So, I started my marathon training this past week. It's an 18 wk program, so I'm looking at another 17 more to go! So far, so good. I'm blogging about it so it can all be documented in one place. Check it out! http://eighteenweeks.blogspot.com/

I am incorporating sprint and mini tris, 5ks, 15ks, 1/2 marathons, etc into my training program. I'm excited to see how it's all going to turn out. Hopefully with me finishing the marathon in a respectable time & looking fit, chiseled, and super healthy:)

A huge confidence booster happened in the form of  placing 2nd, in my age category, yesterday at the SARR Women's 5k run! I was super happy! I ran it in 24:34 (7:55 average). I placed 2nd in my age category & 20th overall out of over 500 runners. Very satisfied:)

* I just noticed I'm wearing the same shirt when I placed 2nd @ the culinaria 5k back in May!! LOL! It must be good luck:)
