Marathon training starts
Next week I begin deliberate training for the Disney Marathon in January 2010. I’ll target to complete runs at least 3X weekly, with one being a ‘long run’. the long run distance will increase right up to marathon time, and I’ll try to complete at least a couple of 21 mile runs prior to the 26 mile marathon. Here’s my schedule for long run distances to accomplish each month:
| June | 6 mi. |
| July | 8 |
| August | 10 |
| September | 12 |
| October | 15 |
| november | 18 |
| December | 21 |
| January 10 | Marathon |
I’ll be de-emphasizing my twice weekly weight training at the Y, and bike rides. And as the distances get longer, I won’t be able to complete them on weekday mornings, so the long runs will begin to cut into weekend fishing time!
BTW: completed 11 mile bike ride to work this AM, saw two gators on the way.

Didja see the piece in the Times about run/walk style of training for and running a marathon?
That makes it almost seem do-able to me. Y’know, maybe, just maybe… If I trained… I could possibly…
Naaaaahhhh!
