I found a training plan at runnersworld.com, unfortunately it recommends that I start training two weeks ago. So I'm going to be faking it from there.
I had a tough time deciding that I was going to try the intermediate program: I don't feel like a beginner necessarily, I mean, I've done this before so I have some idea what it is going to be like and how my body is going to take it, but I'm not in out-of-the-gates-like-a-flash-of-light shape, I pretty much hibernated this winter. So I am going to take the standard program and modify it, nothing significant, though I do need to reconcile the two weeks right out of the gate, which is a little annoying. I guess I should have started looking sooner.
I started out to do a nice 6 miler last night around 7. I waited as long as I could so that it would be cool, but my wardrobe choice left a little something to be desired (hello 100% cotton shirt) when combined with the heat and humidity levels. There was also the fact that I was otherwise occupied (my main motivation for the run was a cup cake) so I took the easy way out and did a 4.5 mile loop instead of the 3 miles out and 3 miles back I had planned on.
It was still good, a nice lite run like that (to quote the fantastic JLB) is never a bad idea. But there is always this feeling, when I deviate from the plan, that I owe something, that maybe I should go today and do that last mile and a half. I don't have the time today, so I guess I will try and talk someone into going with me on Friday morning...when I will be on Vacation! Oh yes. It will be nice.
It was a damned good cup cake though.
I am sorry to be the one to tell you, if you haven't heard, but Sleater-Kinney has announced their impending break-up. Oh Grrrrls, why?
