Yeah, I know, my marathon training plan is 794 miles, and I'm doing the pre-training now so I should hit more than 794. Thing is I'm old. My body reminds me of this regularly. I just spent the last 6 or so weeks not running because of it. So my goal is to hit 700 miles during my marathon training.
I want to get to the marathon starting line prepared and uninjured. I anticipate substituting some long bike rides for some of the runs, and that's ok.
I did a 4.2 mile hilly loop here near home tonight. I chose the hilly route because I knew it would force me to walk. Since I haven't run in weeks going out and running 4 miles tonight would be inviting injury. I walked up and down the hills, I ran the flats. In a few weeks I'll be running the entire thing, but you have to start somewhere, right?
4.2 miles down, 695.8 to go.

Glad to hear that the 4.2 went well, and I LOVE your plan to ease into that distance at first. My fingers and toes are crossed for you to get through your plan and to your start line healthy and ready to rock!!!
