I did manage to get a couple of runs in so far this week. Wednesday was a nice 3.5 mile treadmill run at the gym. I did some hill work and a bit of speed work, so I was pretty pleased with the effort.
Yesterday I ran with David along the Lakefront Path. We ran 4.2 miles at an easy pace. I am liking running with someone from time to time. Lord knows after this week I loved the running. David is great to run with. We chat, we run....it's all good. We are not setting any blazing records during these runs. I told him that slower runs help build stamina. He is recovering from surgery, so he doesn't need to run fast at this point. He is training for the Chicago Half Marathon in September. Eventually he and I will be doing some speed and hill work.
Of course all of this gets me thinking about my marathon training. My goal is to start training in earnest the first week of June. This will be tricky, because I will have to juggle a lot around work. Since I have a management position, I can't have as flexible a schedule as I had last year.
I will be working on a training plan in the next couple of weeks.
