Running again

Wednesday Jan 23, 2008

After some months of driftless, occasional running, I've decided I needed a goal to motivate my training. I looked at some of the upcoming local half marathons, but they're too soon for me to train up in time without a high risk of injury. I decided to train for the Capitol 10K, which I've run a few times in the past, but stopped running due to lack of interest. It's such a large race that fighting the crowd of people who've lined up in the wrong place takes a good mile, and I got tired of that. But it turns out to be about ten weeks out, long enough to get back into the groove. I set up a plan using the Runner's World Smart Coach tool. I'm hoping this will be motivation enough to stick with it and build my weekly mileage back up from about 5-10 miles up to 20.
