Austin marathon 2006 or bust!
I decided that I am gpoing to run the Austin Marathon in February, 2006.
this is week one of training.
Today, I did my first training run.
Lake street, to 29th and back. ~4 miles. 45 minutes.
I was super stiff from soccer last night so the first half was really slow. (i scraped up both knees last night playing goalie, and also took a big tumble on a breakaway.) but on the way back I got a big rush after doing some fartleks, my fingers gwtting all tingly.
Fun. Also saw a girl who I used to see when I ran in the mornings . Glad she's still out there running. We always say hi.
My goal for Austin is an under 5 hour marathon. I also plan to run the Kaiser Permanente Half marathon in GGP on February 6, two weeks before Austin, and am tentatively planning to run the Big Sur marathon on April 30th.
Whooo! Counting on my vast audience of readers to cheer me on.
