Today was the first day of training! I made it... and will have to figure out a better parking situation for the next five billion months. Because that's how long it takes to train. Really...
Today was a three mile run to stick you in pace groups. Something I learned today? A pace group puts you in a group with a minute above your average mile time. Interesting! Another something cool from today? This team very specifically trains with the run/walk method. Love! Yet another awesome something? I really like my pace group. We're not first, we're not last, and we're small. So yay us.
I learned I do not love running on gravel. I learned that muscle memory is awesome. I re-learned that abs/core really do keep you upright. I re-learned why you don't train two days in a row. I re-learned what inner thigh muscles are. Clearly, mucho knowledge is making itself known in my puny brain. Always good times!
I also made an event on facebook in hopes that people will see what I am striving for and support me in this process. I realized that if 100 people gave $10, then I'd be free and clear and can run the marathon (and keep training). Let's start working on that 100, shall we?!
