Thank you for the suggestion on the book! I will definitely look into it. I officially started my training on Tuesday with a 4-mile run. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be in the 115 degree heat! Although, I am really nervous about the long run this weekend. According to the training schedule I downloaded, I need to complete a 7-mile run on Saturday or Sunday. Whew, makes me sweat just thinking about it! Tomorrow I might switch things up with a hill workout or stadium sprints.
I thought about possibly joining a training or running group. As nice as the motivation and support would be, I like being able to do things on my own time. So looks like I will just need to push myself! Did you ever get burned out? The marathon seems so far away, but I know it will be here in a snap.
