Marathon Training

My marathon training is coming along decently. Yesterday I did the long run for the week. The run ended up being 20km, 3km less than what was scheduled, but I completed the general idea, which is to get out for a long run. I ran from our place in Kitchener to few country blocks away from my parents’ place in Baden. Darlene provided the support vehicle complete with snacks and gatorade! This made the run much more bearable, since I could look forward to seeing Darlene every so often and refueling. Overall I’m about 7 weeks into training, with another 10 weeks to go. It’s been nice to have consistent exercise and to re-learn some discipline in my life.
