Marathon training officially began the week of June 4th.
I'd missed the CARA Super Clinic the weekend before and was preparing for Ragnar. Instead, I showed up to Montrose Harbor for the second week's long run on June 16th. I recognized a lot of faces, but was happy to see Jeff was back and running in the 10 minute group with me.
We finally took the leap into the 10 minute group.
The first few weeks have been hot, but overall good. We talked with a few people last week who are training for their first marathon. We tried to be encouraging and not tell too many war stories (though we stressed the importance of running Cricket Hill).
The weekday runs have been short and sweet - just three or four miles.
This Saturday is week 5 and our first double digit long run.
Last week someone said we're a 1/3 of the way through training already.
Sounds about right, though it's hard to believe it's gone by so fast.
