Marathon training started today . . .

5:15AM
YMCA
I weighed in at 180.4 pounds.
My goal is to weight in the 160's.

When I started training last year at this time for the Quad Cities Marathon I weighed 181 pounds- - -I got down to 174 pounds.


With one marathon under my belt . . .this will be a different training experience for me. I am not training to see if I can finish (because I know that I can) . . I am training so that I can run 26.2 miles feeling fit and healthy. There is a difference. Last year I wasn't in great shape . .I made it based on shear determination. This year I want to cross the finish line fit enough to run another 5 miles if I had to.
