The Road Begins

At this point it is five months until I start the Indianapolis Marathon. In the morning, I will run a 5K in my neighborhood to kick off the training season for me. I have come up with a plan which I will detail in a later post. It is similar to the program I followed last year, and I think it will get me where I want to be - a 5:30 marathon.

Marathon training takes a lot of time and effort. My friends and loved ones know my limited free time will be even more limited. Truth be told I love training. I love the process of it. I love figuring it all out. How I can shave some time off a previous run, etc.

This week I have two races, the 5K and the Soldier Field 10 Mile Run. This will be a good indicator for me as to how I am at the start of the training.

So the Road to Indianapolis begins....let the fun begin.
