On Easy Street

After a busy several weeks of travel, work, and family events, the week my wife and I cherish every year has arrived -- Grandpa and Grandma Camp.  The week that my kids spend with my in-laws while my wife and I play.  Usually we visit some location that we tag along with a work trip.  Not this year, instead we decided to enjoy the stay-cation, with a short trip to KC for good measure. So nice!

My training plan is set.  I took a look at the many options from Runner's World and settled on the first-timer plan.  Even though this marathon will be my second, that was many years ago.  I took into account the suggestion that the plan should be designed to get me to the start line prepared and HEALTHY.  For me, getting to the line healthy will be key to my success, no matter the speed.

The plan begins at the end of September and I have designed my own bridge plan to build mileage and get ready for the start of the official plan.  I even built in an easy week prior to the start so I can be fresh and ready to get after some serious mileage.  I will also continue to do weights and cross train for as long as my body will tollerate.

 Let's run!
