my body is a sore, sore temple

i’ve never run a marathon, though i’ve come close. i think my longest run was a 19 mile training run in the foot hills along a fire trail. it just went on and on and was a beautiful day.

well i just signed up to run a marathon in early december. i have no idea if i’ll actually run it, because i only have four months to train and getting that prepared that fast may just leave me in crutches instead of crossing a finish line. but having the goal will be helpful.

so today was my first long run, a mere six miler first thing this morning. but this afternoon i’m really feeling it. i’ve also been my anal self and drew up a training plan for the next sixteen weeks which has a very sane, incremental progression. and i designed a training log to track my progress. wish me luck.
