Today I ran 5 miles in 38:20 – I ran all miles at a 7.8 mph pace though I ran the last quarter mile of each of the first four miles at 8.3 mph and did the same with the fifth mile, but ran the last .15 miles of that quarter mile at 10.2 mph – it felt really good.
In the evening I cycled for one hour.
Today is the start of my marathon training. This is for the Ogden Marathon, which will be held May 19. Last year I did the half-marathon, but this year I had contemplated doing the full marathon, then when they made the difference in price only $5 (between the half and the full), it became a very easy decision to make. Heidi will still do the half this year.
I (and Heidi) will also do the Salt Lake City Half-marathon, currently scheduled to be April 21. There has been talk that it could be delayed due to new owners and some delays. However, the latest emails from them indicate all their paperwork is in and the schedule has not changed. I am just using this half to prepare me for the Ogden marathon.
