still ramping up

Well its only week two so no real progress as of yet. I comfortably ran 6.6 miles in 70 minutes today which is a good "run". Over the past week, I did learn NOT to eat Mexican for lunch before I jump on the treadmill - no matter how much time has passed. It was killing me although it may have taken my mind off the running! :-)

As many of you know, running on a treadmill does not equate to running on the road although I do believe it helps build your cardio. I do keep the treadmill at 1.5 degrees in an effort to to better simulate the road.

I have also decided this week that all of my short days will be at least 5 miles. I cannot afford to run less than that as I prepare.

Thanks Julie! I do appreciate the support and I will continue to keep the blog updated and hopefully somewhat entertaining every now and then. :-)
