Week 1 Half Mary

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Today was the fourth and final workout of the week for my first half
marathon on April 18th, 2010. The half will be in Lawrence, KS and
should be a very hilly affair!
My workouts this week were all indoors on the treadmill as it has been
very cold (in the teens) in the mornings and it was for the best to
run indoors. Thankfully my mother in law recently purchased a
treadmill for our house making the gym obsolete. I went online and
got a Garmin footpod for my 405 and calibrated it with he GPS and
remarkably I have found it to be pretty accurate.
There were four workouts this week two two milers one five mile and
finally a six mile long run which I completed this afternoon in the
midst of a 12 inch snowstorm! My total mileage for the week was 18
miles, representing the longest week of running in my short running
career. I feel good about the week and other than some very minor
stiffness in my knees I feel quite good. Next week will be very
similar and will hopefulle be as good as this week!
