Mini-Marathon Training

I have officially broken through my anti-blogging shield. All credit goes to my sister Elaine who is writing a blog about her P90x experience (check it out: http://elainep90xexperience.blogspot.com/)

Training started January 24th and the past week and a half have gone smoothly. So far my training schedule consisted of 4 twenty min. runs last week with a 3 mile on Saturday. Two cross-training days were also in that mix with a rest on Friday. That will be the normal routine the next few months - with the obvious increasing of the distances. I ran the 3 mile run in Cherokee Park with Shelby and my buddy Creeden. Creeden has signed up for the Mini as well and I will be staying on him to make sure he keeps up the training. This week we bump the running segments up 10 min. to 30 min. with a 4 mile run on saturday (set for Iriquois Park weather permitting).

More to come....I hope I keep this up.
