Preliminary Training - Stage 6 - Day 1
Today was first day that was actually painful somewhere other than my knee. When I jog, I’m at about a 10 minute per mile pace. If I could maintain that pace throughout the Marathon in October, I’d be elated. Hopefully, with nearly six months of training left, I’ll be able to work up to something like that. While finishing is my primary goal, my “stretch goal” is to finish in under 5 hours. For a guy that is currently at least 50 lbs overweight (that’s being generous and accounting for my body type), that seems like a fair, but challenging goal.
I’m starting to get bored with my route, but I can’t really do much different. Maybe I’ll try going the other direction on the trail, but I know that the trail doesn’t go a full 1.5 miles in the other direction so it’ll be interesting. Also, I like the fact that my current route is basically uphill for the first 1.5 miles. Anyway, I’ll see about changing it up a little bit on Friday.
