Week 2 of training - short update.

Decided to go ahead and post a short update since I can't go to bed yet as I wait for my hair to dry. I just came back from my first run of week 2 of marathon training. Week 1 did not go so well as I was out of touch for a bit before I started. I only managed to do 22 km for the entire week instead of the scheduled 24.5 km.

Today's run was not too bad. I think there was a slight improvement in time but I'm not sure since I have not gotten around to timing myself yet. (But I will soon.) I know I'm probably not in my best form yet, but I could tell that the body is slowly picking up stamina.

I'm scheduled to run a total of 26.5 km this week, hope it'll go according to plan. I know some point in time, it would be good to run at macritchie, but I'm not thinking about that for now.

Say, I'm trying to incorporate some cross training activities into the marathon training as the thought of running for a good 4 months is a tad mind boggling to me. Any ideas anyone?
