Well since I've been away I have started a 16 week marathon training program. Nothing fancy, it's just a program I got from runnersworld.com. The reason I went with that is because it is a simple program to follow and you can pick the day of the week you want to do your long runs.
The Honolulu Marathon is on Dec. 10th this year so my training began last Monday. I logged 21 miles the first week with a long run of 10. This week I have a long run of 12 miles and I've yet to find a route. All of my routes have been based on odd number miles (9, 11, 13 15 etc) so I need to find a way to add an extra mile. Better yet I'd like to find some new routes close to home.
Today was an easy run of 5 miles so I just did Big Loop + Kaumakani. Going over the bridge at Wailua I pulled my right calf slightly. This is an injury that I just got over so I'm kind bummed. I stretched and slowed down my pace the last 1.5 mi. I put a hot pack on it and will do some more stretching. I found that heat does it more good than ice. Tomorrow is a rest day so I may just take it easy or go to the gym for a light workout.
