Week 1 - almost in the books!

Today is one of the harder days for me in my training plan...the rest day. It feels like I should be doing SOMEthing. I have to force myself to remember that this is when muscles repair themselves, rebuild connections, and you become stronger. No rest = injuries. Injuries = no marathon, or a painful one like last year. So today, I rest.

Yesterday was a tempo day. The target pace was 8:55 and we ran 9:29. Not bad for my first tempo run. Hopefully I can improve on that next week. Tomorrow is a 5 miler for my long run. Today, I rest.
