I have always wanted to run a Marathon and this year we decided we were ready to tackle the challange so we started with the National Half Marathon on March 20, 2010 with the thought that when we finished we would sign up for the Marine Corp. Marathon held right here in Washington DC! This year it's on Halloween and I hope there are great costumes out running to help keep me going.
We recently ran the Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10K in Richmond which is ranked one of the top 10 races in the country and they had awesome costumes!! Looking at all the people you are running next too is a great motivator to hurry up and catch up to some other great costumes. Here is a little sample of a Tornado that we ran across!
Anyway back to Marathon Training, we currently just started week 4 today which is a total of 31 miles and consistently climbs over the next few months. Here is the training program that we are following, it is Hal Higdon's program with walking and circuit training added in.
It has been a little hard to get motivated to run in this heat with it being 90+ everyday but we are logging the miles we need too and hopefully this weather will give us a break soon. I just want a cloudy cool morning of 78 degrees.
