So the last post I mention I started my marathon training, well I'm still with it. I think it's going to be harder than I thought. I'm turning into an old man, my knees are constantly sore and I've been taking pills to help with the soreness. I'm like one of those guys on the Aleve commercial :). Too bad this week was technically a conditioning week for me. I don't really start the training schedule until next week.
On a side note, I finally got a watch to help me keep pace/ actually know the pace I'm running at, and today I was kinda proud of myself a little faster than an 8min/mile. I'm setting my goal for my marathon to be under a 4hr marathon, so the pace needs to be faster than a 9:09min/mile.
If there are any runners that read this, please comment on some of the things you do on your rest days. I mainly swim to do my cross training, and also what about weight lifting, especially lower body lifting. Also, suggestion on running song/playlist. I'm really into upbeat/house/techo-y songs to help keep the energy up.
