I hope everyone had a nice holiday? My holiday was nice, I was a good boy last year so Santa was nice to me. I got some running gear, some clothes etc and the little man (Alex, who is now 6) had a great holiday. Santa brought the family a Wii so that has been a lot of fun. Well a lot has happened in the past couple of weeks. Here is the update:
- I was using the Furhman FIRST Marathon training plan but I was having a hard time getting the cross training sessions in and thus the 3 runs per week were not going to cut it. So I did some sole searching and talked a lot with friends and did a lot of searching on the web and I have decided to go with a plan that works for me. I am able to run 60 minutes per day during the work week at any one time and I need to rest atleast once over the weekend to handle the needs of every day life so I am going to run Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri and Sunday with Sunday as my LTR, Friday as a tempo run and Wed as Speed and Hills and the other days for easy runs. This will bring me to 35-50 per week which is more realistic.
- The health of my calves and left foot have been great and I have not had any pain since getting the orthotics
Overall, training is now going well and I am enjoying getting the miles in even if it means running on New Years Day when it is 7 BELOW ZERO....
