A mile a day...takes you far from home...;-)

Ran 6 miles today, at an avg speed of 5.5 miles per hr, and an incline of around 35 degrees (4 %, where 5% is 45%). Feel pretty good about myself, tho' muscles I did not know even existed are aching.

After the 1 hour run, I tried running without an incline on the treadmill. To my surprise, I could run comfortably at 9 miles per hr, for 2 minutes. Am planning to attempt a 7.5 minute mile this week...

Of marathons and midlife crises

Writing a post after a long time...could say I was too busy, but honestly, did not feel like writing anything...

I just registered online for the Hartford, CT marathon online...Its on October 11 2008. So that gives me around 10 weeks of prep time.
My goal is to finish it in less than 4 hours.
I ran around 5 miles today. Will update this space regularly with my time and training details.
