The Training Begins

I'm on the road to my 2015 half marathon.

Well, not on the road literally, since the weather isn't cooperating. I'm on the treadmill, but you get the idea.

I got an 8-miler in on Sunday. It was slow ... rarely getting above a 5.5 mph pace because I wasn't sure I was ready for 8. But I got it done. Best of all, there were no ill side-effects today.

So that means if I add a minimum of a half-mile per week on my long run and tack on a few extra miles a week during my short runs, I should be in good shape for May 2.

It feels good to have a big red "X" on the calendar.
