Today was the start of a 20 week marathon program I developed. The goal today - run for 1 hour. I headed to the Monon Trail at Roher Rd. and off I went. When you head south from this point, you are heading into the center of Carmel.
Not many people were out on the trail. Being a Tuesday morning, I wasn't too surprised. Still it was a sunny pleasant morning as I trotted along.
I know I went out too fast. Made the mental note not to do that on the next run. I felt good out there though. I wanted to keep my pace around 15:00. Because I went out too fast, I knew that I might be fatigued at the end.
At 30 minutes, I turned around. I was just past City Hall at this point, and back I went. I stopped for water a couple of times as it was getting warm out there. When I was 1/2 mile from the end, I felt a bit tired, and I walked more, which slowed my time. Still, when I was done. I felt very good at getting this first run under my belt.
The first training run is in the books.....next up, another 1 hour run.
