Here we go. Day 1 of Training.
I spent a great deal of time last night reviewing websites for people with way more experience running than me. Even when I looked for sites for "pathetic" runners, I really couldn't find anything that seemed suited for me.
So, I got up this morning and did some time on my stationary bike first to warm myself up. Then I tried for two miles. Two simple miles.
It wasn't terrible. Everything I read said not to push too hard at first. Ease into it. So, I did. Eased in with a walk/run. Two miles in 30 minutes. Not terrible for day one. At least, I kept a 4 mile/hr pace. That's a 6.2 hour marathon pace, assuming I could actually keep going for 26.2 miles.
I downloaded the endomondo app last night so I can track everything. Will be eager to see how slow it takes me to progress.
