So the organization that runs the relay I will be participating in (Ragnar Relay) has a posted training plan for both beginners and experienced runners. I am definitely a beginner. Years ago I used to hate running....but sometime in the last year I realized that if I was ever going to lose the pounds I have gained since I graduated from college....running was going to have to be my friend. So I started running....slowly but surely. But I felt like I needed to run toward something. Enter this relay :)
If I were to follow the "official" training program, I would start this coming Monday....but I decided to get a bit of a jump. So....I started this past Saturday and ran again today. I only ran 2.8 miles total each day and today I shaved 36/100 off my pace from the first run. By no means am I going to be the team superstar....but if I keep continual progress and regular training...I will certainly not let them down.
But to really do this....I am going to need help and support. Feel free to email me, text me, or comment here to ask how I am doing on training days (Mon, Wed, Fri, and in a few weeks Sat). I will be posting regularly too. Thanks for your interest and support!
