Off and Running! My First Run.

5/29/07

First run of training.  I went to Madonna, checked the baby into daycare and hit the streets around the health club.  The Nike Plus is amazing.  I love how it tells me how far I have gone and how much is left.  I ran slow.  It was easy.  Not that bad.  I did three without too much of an effort.  Afterward, I told everyone how that was the fartherest I had ever run before.  Ever.

I am doing the training recomended in a book, “The Non-Runner’s Marathon Trainer.”  That pretty much says it all.  The book is based on a class taught at the University of Northern Iowa.  A couple hundred people have done this specific program to prepare-mostly non-runners.  Well, I pretty much fall into that category so I am betting that I can do the program and make a marathon too.
