Hal Higdon Marathon Training Week 1

We'll see if I can stick with it without getting injured. Based on a better-then-expected (sub 8 min) time in the Petit Road Race, I decided to take a stab at a marathon. Don't know which one I'll do yet, because there are so many weeks and chances to get injured between now and the end of the 18 week program, but it does lead right up to high season for marathons in the late fall. Expect weekly updates from the Hal Higdon program.

    Done.

    Did you stretch first? I probably should have.

    Did you include a warm-up block and a cool down block? I didn't.

    Thank you.

    Yes, she was very proud of this. Me, too.

    Nice going! One day at a time . . . . I sometimes stretch after a mile or so, and then every couple of miles on longer runs, but on a short run sometimes I'll blow it off.

    Thank you Doug for the nice idea. Thank you both for the encouragement and your sponsorship... I'm off to count one driveway at a time. :)

    So, the "m" doesn't mean minutes...

    Sadly, no. Nor does it mean "meters."
