Sixteen Weeks

Yesterday was my last pre-training run, a total of 30 minutes, plus ten or so for cooldown. The Non-Runners Marathon Trainer says I should have had two weeks of four thirty-minute runs each to this point, but...that didn't happen.

On to the training plan. Tomorrow is the start of the sixteen week plan, which will take me to the Marine Marathon on October 27th. Four times a week I'll be getting out there, for two short runs, a medium run and a long one. The longest runs are scheduled for the last Saturday in September, and the first Saturday in October, 18 miles apiece. Of course, it would be the weekend we leave and the weekend we return from the Outer Banks. Why wouldn't it?

Tomorrow is a short run for three miles, which I'm planning to do as soon as I get out of work, right in the area of the firehouse.  Early in the day, when it's still (somewhat) cool. The humidity is still going to be high, but that looks to be the case for the summer. Might as well get used to it.
