And They're Off!

So I must say I failed quite miserably at sticking to my workout schedule last week.  I went into the training kick-off on Saturday feeling pretty crappy.  I had prepared myself to be one of the slower people there and was just shooting to get a time under 30 minutes for 2 miles.  I must say I actually surprised myself.  The first mile was pretty good and I was able to run most of it.  Second mile was a bit tougher but was proud of myself for finishing.  I know I have a lot to work out to crack the 3 hour mark in July but think this program will definitely help me.  This week kicks off our first full week of training and I'm already trying to figure out how to fit in my runs/cross-training with my schedule.  I'm going to try to sneak in some cardio during lunch today.  Also, check out the sweet DailyMile widget I installed on my blog.  Last week I spent some time researching blogs in order to make some updates to mine and came across this on someone else's blog.  I already use DailyMile and thought this might help me stay more honest with my workouts.  DailyMile syncs with my Garmin so its super easy to upload my runs.  Be on the look out for more changes to the blog!
