As of today, I am officially on track with my training! Because I started late last week, I had to switch some days around to make sure I got both my run days and my rest days in. Now that I am in sync with my training schedule, it should stay that way. Today I decided to do the 2 mile loop around my apartment complex. While I have been able to run that distance for some time now, I had been having trouble with this particular route because of the hills during the last half mile. This time, I was able to do it without any difficulties! I didn't time it this time because I forgot my iPod, and honestly, it was nice to run for once without worrying about how I was doing. I think I will do all of my easy runs like that from now on. It helps me focus more on running instead of constantly checking on my time.
This week begins the steady climb of increasing mileage every Saturday. This Saturday, I am supposed to reach 4 miles, which I have not done in at least 6 months, but I am confident that I can do it as long as I stay on schedule. From here on out my Saturday runs will increase by 1 mile each week. Thank goodness the weather is starting to warm up, even if it's going a little slowly.
I'm planning on hitting the gym sometime tomorrow in between studying. Speaking of studying, it's about time I get back to it! I shall return!
