2010 Mini Marathon Training has officially Started

Like the title says, I have officially began training for the 2010 Mini Marathon. Last week Chris and I headed up to the local YMCA and sat in on a meeting for a Mini Marathon/Marathon training group. There were people there that will be training for everything from a 5k to 26.2. After leaving, I went home and signed up online for the group. Couldn't pass up the $10 shirt.

The group was scheduled to do the first group run on Monday, but I wasn't sure if it would go off as planned since the group leader had just done the Goofy in Disney. For those of you who don't know what that is, it consist of running a half marathon on Saturday and then following that up with a full marathon on Sunday. CRAZY!!! Anyway, earlier in the day I received an email that the run would go off as planned. So at 7 pm I headed to the Y. There were only 4 of us total, including the leader and one of her running partners. We ended up putting 5.41 miles in 57 minutes. It was a slow easy pace.

Yesterday I was supposed to get out and run with Chris, but I was never able to pull myself away from things around here. Oh well. He did get out and put in a good 6 mile run.

Today we got together and put in a 6.5 mile run in about 56 minutes in my hood. We are actually kicking around the idea of training and running a full marathon later this year. We shall see.

Anyway, that is what is going on right now as far as training and running. I will try to update this as the process goes along.
