Marathon Update

My marathon training is well on its way. I ran my first track-workout and it was SO fun! The track workout consisted of a warm up of 4 laps (1 mile) then we did some hurtful 100m butt-kickers, lunges, grapevines and other stuff. Then our workout STARTED. Yes that was only the warming up. So after that we ran for 100 meters slowly or a light jog then we RAN 100 meters harder as a sprint. We did that for 4 more laps (1 mile). That was the workout then we did 3 laps as a cool down. Once we did that we stretched and did some core. And let me tell you, I felt the core stuff the next day. Oh and did I mention we did our workout at a dark track because during Hurricane Ike the lights were blown out so, it was nice and DARK. I bought a light for this week so that I can see better.
After the Wednesday workout I ran a little on Thursday or at least the best I could with a sore rear-end. Then on Saturday at 7 am was our longer run. We didn't meet up too early so that was nice. The "marathon" group ran 4 miles, which felt really good. I didn't have anyone to run with me since my Sidewalk Divas were not there so, I ran on my own. Since I was bymyself I decided to run as hard as I could. I ran 4 miles in 39 minutes which was cool.
All in all the workouts are coming along and I LIKE it. Who woulda thought that I would of said Running was FUN!
Now on to this week of training. Rock & Roll marathon here I COME!
