Week 12 - Weigh In

Well, no video folks. I have maintaining my weight at around 216 pounds now for the last couple of week. Haven't seen it go above 220 in about 4 weeks. However, tomorrow is the day I go back to work. So, I am so ready for a regular schedule again.

I have roughly 18 weeks until the Fairfield Half Marathon on June 27th. My training schedule I am taking from a guy named Brad Boughman from his book "Half Marathon Rookie", he maintains an excellent website called Marathon Rookie. He has a 10 week training program for beginner runners of Half Marathons. However, he stresses the importance of not starting his 10 week training cold, but to take 8 weeks running for at least 30 minutes 4 times a week. Then at the 10 weeks will amp up your training to focus on endurance running. I was basically running for 30 minutes at a time before my shoulder injury.

So, tomorrow morning I am off to the Y to use their indoor track, or maybe even run around my block, since it's been a little warmer lately. I will post a video weigh in on Friday morning and go over how my runs went this week. Good to be back in action.
