Day 1 (Again)

Work gets stressful and life gets complicated and goals get relegated to nice ideas.  I wanted to run a full marathon before turning 40 and well. . . it's about a half a year too late for that.  I managed to finish two half marathons which if you were really creative you could say equaled a whole, and now running is something I do to relax in the morning (at a very relaxing pace).  

Yesterday I decided to get back on top of it though, and today was my Day 1.  Most marathon training programs day you should be running 15-30 miles a week already before you start.  I've probably been doing the very very bottom end of that.  I mean scraping the absolute bottom on a good week.  I have a month till the end of the semester so I've decided to get running safely toward the upper end of that range and when the semester ends start a 16 week program.  Towards that goal I got out there and ran 6 kilometers at a faster clip than usual and hopefully will keep on doing that for the rest of the month.
