I'm officially starting my Marathon training this week.  I ran 3 miles on monday and did core work and hand weights.

Tuesday I spun for 17 miles...worked up a good sweat.

Today I ran on the treadmill for 5 miles, 3 of those were tempo miles.  I repeated my core work and hand weights routine.  Good long stretch afterward :)

Grad work is interfering with my long run for this saturday (have to meet a client) so I am going to try to do it early on the treadmill Friday am.  I need some encouragement to run 8 miles at 5am...got any?

ugghhh...I hate the TM! 8 miles isn't too bad though. Break it up into 2 - 4 mile stretches. That sounds more swallowable :) do 4 miles. Stop, reset the TM (since it only goes to 60 min anyway), get a drink wipe the sweat, change the TV channel then do 4 more. That will make it work, right? :)

Which full are you doing?!?

Cut out a photo of your best ice cream treat and tape it to the treadmill.
