First Day of Training

My first day of marathon training is in the books! I say "my" because right now Robert and I are training in two different states. I am home visiting my family for the week, so we are starting our training on our own. I figured it was better to start the training on our own, since the miles we are running are less than it will be in just a few short weeks!

So today's run was actually really good! I am a little surprised about that because I didn't workout Saturday (traveled 7 hours) or Sunday (rest day), so I was expecting today's run to be a little bit rough.

The weather was perfect here in NY for running this morning. The temperature was about 70 degrees, the humidity was low, and there was a slight breeze. It felt really nice outside compared to the weather we had last week!

Today's run was 3 miles on a route that had a couple of hills and some straight stretches. I finished my 3 mile run in 30:38! That is a 10:13 minute mile! The fastest I have ever run 3 miles! I know I was only able to run at that pace because of Insanity! For those of you who don't already know, Robert and I completed two 60 day rounds of a program called Insanity on July 10, 2010. This program has changed our lives! To see our transformations go to: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Independent-Beachbody-Coach-Brooke-Olejniczak/119526381402331?ref=ts

I actually enjoy running now, and find it to be easier for me after completing two rounds of the Insanity program. I just have to remember to slow myself down a little bit for the longer runs. ;)

Today's run summary:

Miles---3

Cool Down---9:62
Total Time---40:00
Total Calories---568
