Let's get this started

I'll keep this first post short so that I actually do it. :-)

Monday nights I volunteer at the Running Room with a Learn to Run group as a group leader. The group this time around is fairly large. 50 or 60 in the whole clinic and about 30 in my run group. This was week 2 of 10 for them. Tonight they were running 1 minute and walking 1 minute for a total of 20 minutes. Its hard to remember what that felt like but it does seam like a nice place to start for them.

I usual try and do my own run before the clinic if I can. Tonight was all zone 1. 15 min. low Zone 1, 15 min. mid Zone 1, 15 min. high zone 1 and 15 min. low zone for a total of 60 minutes. It took me most of the first set to get slowed down properly. Just seam to be running fast too night.

Weight today was 203. Goal is 190 by the time I do the New York City Marathon in November.

Tomorrow its back to the Peak Centre for Human Performance (Peak for short) to do my strength and conditioning workout. Really felt that calf raises from Saturday. Trying hard to get this part of my programme really going. Its not an area I've done any work before this past April when I started with Peak.

Also made an appointment for some nutrition advise/counciling this Saturday. Carb depletion has been the single biggest factor in all of my marathons to date. I really need to get a handle on this.

That's it for this first post. :-)
