New Day

I did some reading last night that gave me encouragement.  The books I read are Runner’s World Big Book of Marathon and Half-Marathon Training and Marathoning for Mortals.  Both books stress how important it is to stick to a marathon schedule.  I’ve always stuck to the long, slow distance day of increasing my mileage but never to the other days of exercise.  I studied the training schedule in the Maratahoning for Mortals book again and decided to follow it to the letter.  It calls for you to walk/run only 40 to 45 minutes on the regular days.  I can deal with this and not feel like a failure. 

Today I took Liam for a 1.6 mile walk.  It really is too warm to be outside for long.



It’s hard to get Liam to pose and look happy.
