And so it begins...Training that is! Yep, today is the day. Got my plan all mapped out in pencil. Watched two marathon movies to get me pumped up this weekend. (cheesy, yes, I know but hey, whatever). And what do you know...Day 1 is here.
Started the day off getting an email from coach. Everyone needs words of encouragement and it came at just the right time. I literally was heading out the door for my first training run.
I did 2 easy miles and then 1 mile consisting of hill repeats and recoveries. The hill I chose was short and steep. Did I mention steep? Its one of those where you grit your teeth and grunt and say, son of a b**** as you get near the top. Ok, maybe only I do that and maybe I am the only one who would think its hard. But, it was. I can see feel in my legs how this is going to help strengthen them which is the whole freakin' point.
So, yay for me and yay for training.
*queue Vanilla ice....cause I am having to ice my shins to keep some nasty splints away. All my running peeps are stove up and injured. I told them to keep their hurts to themselves.
