Training

Training for the 2007 Mardi Gras Marathon has officially begun.

Jennifer and I met at the office yesterday at 6:45 a.m. for an easy (and very slow!) jog around Olympic Park and downtown. Right now our plan is to meet twice a week, but I have to figure out how/where/when I am going to do my Saturday long runs.

This is the first time I'm doing this on my own - without the support of a Galloway group - and the prospect of waking up on a Saturday morning and heading out for six, seven, eight plus miles all alone is a little daunting.

The road to February stretches out before me and it may be only 13.1 miles, but it looks a lot longer when you're still at the starting line.
