Today was officially Week 1 Day 1 of marathon training!!! 4 miles
I was over anxious and did intervals the first 2 miles: walking 3 minutes/running 1 minute for the first mile, then walking 4 minutes/ running 1 minute for the next mile. That caused a definite pain in my right leg. So i walked miles 3 and 4, with just 2 - 30 second running efforts mixed in somewhere.
My leg is not happy. I have stretched, foam rolled, and iced it and it is still very tender and achey.
The rest of this week i will just walk my schedule - that was supposed to be my plan anyway for now - and see where that gets me by next Sunday.
My time - first 2.1 miles - 30 minutes. Second 2 miles - 36 minutes, but that also included a stop and short chat with a neighbor (3-4 minutes)
ok.. what happened to WALKING!!!! the first few weeks!!! hello!!! you knew this wasnt your plan!! :) :)
