Week one

of marathon training is over.  We tried to get out yesterday and get it done but it didn't work so well, due to more snow.  So we decided to go today and a bit later too.  So out we went at 11.  It was much better.  there were still parts of the course that was snow covered but for the most part it was pretty clear.  I tried really tried to keep it at the 11:16 pace as prescribed.  But for the most part we were faster.  Naturally during the snow covered parts we were slower so we averaged 11:11, pretty close to goal. 

This coming week is Tuesday/Thursday run each 5 miles.  Thursday is a speed workout.  Next Saturday is a long run of 12 miles.

For now week one is done and we move on to the next...still planning on the full at this point...we shall see.
