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?

Received great advice from RAD and QP on how to do my 8 mile run on the treadmill this morning.  I followed their advice...sorta.  

Had the worse nights sleep last night...or I should say...didn't sleep.  When I finally did get up (1/2 hour later than expected), I was exhausted.  I dragged myself out of bed and threw on the clothes I laid out the night before.  I got on the treadmill and did 4 miles then took a break like RAD had recommended.   Just turns out my break might last a day or two :).  Then I followed QP's advice...sorta.  Instead of posting a pic of my favorite icecream, I got a small sample at the grocery store.  

I also got "flocked" last night.  In case you don't know what that is, it is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.  Someone made a donation in order to have me flocked.  During the night some "flockers" flocked my lawn.  I awoke to 30 pink flamingos in my yard.  The flamingos will disappear within 48 hours to a lawn that I have chosen to be "flocked".
