Week 2 Update

Following my long run this morning, I've successfully completed week two of training; only 12 weeks remaining!  In an upcoming post I'll discuss the past two weeks and why I reiterated the flexibility concept so hard....

Today was a great lazy Saturday.  Cincinnati was blasted by a snow storm (as in, we received roughly 2 inches of snow and had a weather emergency...) so naturally Wally wanted to wake early and run in the snow.  Needless to say, Jen and I were up at 7am as Wally bounded and sniffed his way through the fluffy powder.  Breakfast was some Oikos Greek Yogurt with a little honey, granola and fresh mango.  Delicious.

We took the rest of the morning easy with some Paul Simon playing in the background and then made our way to the gym for my 4 mile run.  I ran this at a pace between 12:00 and 12:30 minute miles which definitely works up a sweat right now.  Jen has some ideas to alter my training plan that can help with increasing the speed so look for a revised training plan soon (I'm glad she reads so many fitness magazines).
