Week 3...how is that possible? Well, technically it is Week 1 for me actively following the 20 week marathon training program...but it is the third week of the plan. There was a bit of overlap with the half marathon training...but here I am...officially training for a marathon in October. It is happening!! My knee is much better and I just need to do some PT...still need to get that scheduled...maybe I will have to leave the office on time or earlier then usual. Yep...there are worse things!! I was happy to feel fantastic after my 7 miles yesterday. It felt really, really good...and I was put at ease. My new kicks are wearing in nicely...Nike+ band is up to 126 miles logged...and I learned how to treat a blood sugar low without stopping. It was a good week. During my seven miles my blood sugar dropped at around 3 miles...I treated with my Gummie Lifesavers...and like clockwork...15 minutes later...I was back at full power. Because I was a bit panicked...I took a few extra. Here is what I learned...I should pop a few every three miles...I surged with energy. I walked faster in those later miles. I ran faster in the those later miles. I think next Saturday I will put this plan into place and see how I do. That is what training is about. Testing different things so that on game day you know what to do. We are off...the road to 26.2 has begun!!
