I'm Back! Week One of Austin Marathon Training

After a multiple month hiatus from blogging, I am going to track my progress as I participate in the 09/10 Distance Challenge. I know I hate the Austin Marathon, but after missing the fall marathons this year, I just want to run one that is close to home where my family can come watch. My posts will be very short with workouts and times.

The first official race was this past Sunday, the IBM 10k. I ran a 47:04 which isn't bad since I have been sick for about 3 weeks and my training has been spotty.

This morning's workout was the dreaded 4 mile tempo run in the dark. I ran a 31:29 which was a personal worst, but gives me a starting point for this season.
