• week 2 of training

  a few months ago when a friend came to visit and wanted to run the goldengate bridge, i thought, “no problem”.  at the halfway mark, i felt like my heart was going to explode.  this made me realize that i wasn’t nearly in the shape i thought i was.  so now that i’m somewhat grounded and have nowhere to go, i started my training.  last week, was week 1.  i barely was able to do 3 miles (which took 33 minutes).  my goal for week 1 was to do 3 miles @ 10 minutes a mile.  i was able to achieve that on day 3.  i skipped a day and on friday i got up to 3.4miles in 34 minutes before my legs and knee felt like they were going to give.  week 2′s goal was to work up to 4 miles in 40 minutes, but to my surprise, i was able to do that today (day 1)!   week 3′s goal was to hit 5 miles, but since i already hit my week 2 goal, i might have to try to hit the 5 mile goal this week.  time for the obligatory celebratory drink! kanpai!
