Musings of a Perpetual Beginner Runner

Chronicle of my preparation for the 2006 ING New York City Marathon.

A step at a time

It's only been 3 days, but I've been sticking to the personal goal.

Yesterday, for the first time in a really long time, I woke up early as I used to, went to the gym and worked out my chest muscles and then hopped on the treadmill for an easy 1 mile run.

Here's the weekly plan for April:

Sunday: 3-mile outdoor run day
Monday: Lift, chest, 1 mile run
Tuesday: Lift, legs, 1 mile run
Wednesday: 45 minutes cross training cardio
Thursday: Lift, back, 1 mile run
Friday: Lift, legs, 1 mile run
Saturday: Rest

Next month I hope to increase my daily runs to 2 miles a day, and then in June I want to be at 20 miles per week. Hopefully this time I'll avoid injury because it will have been a long, gradual build up of mileage.

So today I did a leg workout and then I did an easy paced 1 mile run on the treadmill.

Not bad. Hope I stay injury-free and that I keep up with the schedule.
