Here We Go

Today I begin my 11 week training for my half marathon. The training schedule I am using isn't too bad, except for Saturdays. The runs during the week are to just stay in a groove, but every Saturday you turn it up a bit and run a bit more. It should be fun. :)

I am using Nike Plus to track my progress. It's convenient; it keeps track of my times, tracks my distance, and I can load it all onto the computer and see graphs of my progress. I think the hardest part of all of this is just to be consistent, and to keep the diet going strong. I am used to weight loss meal plans, but eating for a marathon is a bit different. It includes a lot more carbs.

I'll jump on here from time to time to give updates. Wish me luck!
