For those of you who don't know, it was 3 years ago today that I got thrown from a horse and broke both arms, among other things. So I believe it is quite fitting that today was the first day of marathon training.
From here until Nov 1 there are no more excuses. It doesn't matter how hot or cold it is. It doesn't matter how windy, rainy, early, or late it is. If it's lighting I better run fast and hope I don't get hit. If there is a tornado coming down my normal route I'll have to pick a different path. If the roads are flooded I'll have to run in place. The only thing that can stop me now is a leg falling off or a death certificate with my name.
I got my 4 miles in today. It wasn't pretty, but I did it. It was 80 degrees, but cloudy, which helped. It had rained some on my way home from work, I was hoping to get some of that during my run but no such luck. I have a long ways to go, but I'll get there.
I think I missed adding 4.2 miles last week so I'm up to 12.4 miles complete 687.6 to go.
