First the bad news - we had pizza at work tonight because all the schools had graduation and everybody was working, and I had four slices. (Two Hawaiian, two Philly cheesesteak) But this morning, I got up at 7:30 and went running in the park. With my 200/30 run/walk ratio, I made it 2.5 MILES! Even better, I covered more ground in the first few sets than I had in the same number of counts yesterday AND my legs feel great. :) So for the rest of the month, I plan to work my way up to four miles (three loops) at the 200/30 ratio. Then I can spend July increasing the run/walk ratio until I’m running the whole thing by the end of July. :D (That would be about 20 miles a week.) My long-range running goal is a marathon in a nearby city held in mid-April. I figure I need to be running about 35 miles a week for about a month by the end of the year so I have the base to start training for the marathon in January. That would be three days running either three or four miles, two days running eight miles and one running 10 miles. *pause to work out schedule* Actually, barring injury, I should be able to have two months of training at that level (November and December) before I need to start building up for the marathon. So that’s my next big goal. And if I eat reasonably well, which I’ll need to do to have the fuel to handle the running, I figure my weight will take care of itself. (The less you weigh, the faster you run. The faster you run, the more calories you burn both while running and at rest. It’s all good. *G*)
