Today was just a rest day. I am 2 1/2 weeks post-Baltimore Marathon--my first. I see myself as a "miler turned marathoner"--thus the title for my blog. I was never great at very long distances when I ran in high school I was never good at spring distances. The mile was the only event I was really good at, and I was good but not excellent. My first marathon was satisfying, particularly in light of an overuse injury that I was nursing for most of the last four weeks before the race. I'm looking forward to a winter of individuals training so that I can be ready to go back to my training group next summer and train hard to get myself a lot closer to (if not below) a Boston qualifying time. Look forward to interacting with others on this blog. |
