After my first Week

Well I have been running around the Lakes now for a week. It's going really well I've just run 8 miles and feel really good! The training through the week and to be honest it;'s been short boring runs n the town where I live and I HATE running up and down streets just to get the miles in. I know I have to to get the miles but PLEASE sun come back so I can run out into the country side and enjoy where I live!

This has been the best run! http://bit.ly/9JBvfu

I've been thinking what keeps me going and here are some of them in no particular order!
1. Knowing I have a marathon in May
2. Keeping my stats so I can see progression
3. A schedule so I know what to do even when I do not want to do it
4. My wife who is also training
5. Friends commenting on my runs
6. My weight going down

Thats a bout it for now keep running!

Training going well

Just a quick one to say the marathon training is going well. Took a night off tonight Little ones have been ill so not slept much. Feel very positive about how it's going.

Got my Calender for my marathon!

Well I looked on-line and found this site to build me a calender that goes straight into my Google Calender! http://www.mattandsara.com/marathon/ It's US based so has some programed events in but you can also choose your race date and then get all the training days from this awesome is the only word! Now I know what I have to do every week till May.

My god there is a lot of running to be done. Running every day but one! going to be using my head nearly every run as this is the only time I get to run when my wife is back from work about 9pm most nights. We have had snow for weeks in the UK so I have not been running for the last two weeks but got out to do a 5 mile today felt O.K. knee was a bit sore going to do a few small easy runs to see how it is.....

fingers toes crossed.
