Marathon Training Begins

You'll notice on the right of my blog I have added a new item: Marathon Training Log.

Since this is my first marathon, and I'm scared to death, and I don't know what I'm doing, I feel the need to share every detail with the world.

While my official training with MIT doesn't start until Memorial Day weekend, I started training in late April. I don't have a training plan for mileage yet, but I'm trying not to lose the base I had when I was training for the half marathon. So I'm doing what I can. And my shin still hurts. Enough that I couldn't run today even though it was beautiful outside. I cross-trained instead. I'm trying to get back to my physical therapy exercises, too. I'm in daily consultation with my coach, Mr. Boston Marathon, and trying not to psych myself out before my training really starts.

So while I might not have time to post a full blog post, or even a tweet, I'll be updating my training log on a daily basis.
