It’s time ladies and gentlemen. Official training for the Seattle Marathon began today… 125 days, 18 weeks, 818.2 miles to go. At the end of all this, my goal is to 1) put together a well thought out and executed training regiment ,2) run a patient, well paced race, and 3) celebrate state #16 with a new PR in Seattle.
Today’s run went very well. One has to love the weather in Southern California. A cool breeze, perfect air conditions (by So Cal standards… no noticeable smog), and the warm embrace of the “winter” sun. Finished a brisk 8 miler with a heart cap of 155, average 8:15/mile. Somehow my pacing and heart wasn’t matching up. HR was a little on the high side today. It kept creeping into the high 150s. Good part is that it felt about a 7 on the effort scale. Hope to see some improvement in the weeks to come.
Lord give me strength to persevere
To give it all each and every day
One race, one mile, and one step at a time
Jeff
