Why oh why did I write so much in that first post? This is why I suck at blogging. I write a ton of stuff at the beginning, and then I go quickly into "This is boring. I'm bored now. Bored". Maybe I can keep it together for this post.
I have finished my first week of training. It is an 18-week training schedule with my long runs on Saturdays. I ended up doing my long run today (Sunday) because work was insane this week, and I had to rearrange my running schedule. I'm really going to try to keep that at a minimum because I don't like doing that. Running and insane work.
My long run today was 8 miles which was just lovely. In that hideous sort of way.
I have thank three people though. The first is Dawn Dais who wrote one of the funniest books I've ever read, making it the funniest running book ever. "The Non-Runners Marathon Guide for Women" is hilarious and quite helpful, and I'd recommend it to any runner, male or female. The only women-specific parts are those relating to sports bras and other female necessities. P.S. How can someone with no rack still feel like her boobs are going to fall off?
The book is amazing, and I will probably quote from it in this blog. I have to thank Capt. Furious for not only recommending it to me, but buying me a copy and mailing it to me.
The third person to thank is the dark-haired gentleman with the sweat-stained gray t-shirt whose RoboCop-like pacing kept me from dying. I seriously suck at pacing. He definitely kept me steady though, and he did not seem at all weirded out by the fact that I was creeping behind him for 3 miles. Up until he farted it was a magical time.
Tomorrow is my rest day, otherwise known as my favorite type of workout. But it also means the weekend is over which is annoying. But I digress from the topic of this blog, which is my cue to stop writing.
