Day 3

It seems I'm not really following any one particular training schedule...this could possibly be bad. However, from most of what I've seen, the training schedules are for a period of 12 weeks, and seeing as that the marathon is 16 weeks away..... 16 - 12 = 4. So I guess I really have 4 weeks to build up a base, and a base is usually 3 miles. I ran 3.5 yesterday, so I'm already good in that respect. I'm just training a little bit to get my rear in gear and possibly increase my running speed for said 3 miles.

Regardless, today I decided to run 2 miles. All of the running schedules give you days off, and I haven't taken a day off in 3 days, sooooo I figured I'd make it a low-key run. Ran from Lindsey's house to the entrance of Liberty Downs, up to the Raintree stop sign and back. There were some serious hills, but I did it and felt great!

Still can feel myself slightly dreading running, so I need to get quite a few good runs under my belt to believe in myself and look forward to sweating and pounding it out. Another goal is to wake up earlier, preferably before classes and run. I need to scope out some good UT trails.
