It's Time 2 Run

First week is in the books! Yep Yep! Flip side is that I’ve got 15 more weeks to go. But I’m going to focus on the positive on this one. The most important thing is that I’m injury free. I’m sore though but, with little experience I do have, I know the difference between injury and general muscle soreness. So far my my training plan has only taken me to a long run of 8 miles. I chose to do that run at Cherokee Park which is known for plenty of hills. I’ll continue to do the long runs there to help build leg strength. In body building terms, those are my leg days.

The challenge is more mental this week as it’s getting colder. The cold is inevitable. After all, it is winter in Kentuckiana. I told myself that as long as it’s dry, I’ll be out running in the cold. The key word is dry. Unlike running in the spring, there is the possibility of running on ice in the cold. For me, running on ice = injury. My hope is that it stays dry.
