Progress...kind of. I've been following a schedule to help me with improving my stamina, strength, and mental preparedness for the 13 mile trek in May. I've been sore, achy, and eager (which one doesn't belong?). Eager to advance, to gain endurance and gain more mileage. I've started to develop shin pain during the end of my runs, but I'm dealing with it. I just think my legs aren't used to running...at all...unless its for the remote.
I'm running no less than 3 miles at least 4 times a week (10 min-run, 5 min-walk). I've been fortunate to experience a "runners high" during my last run on the treadmill. Does that count - on the treadmill? Anyway the feeling was addictive and strange. It felt like a combo of a head rush, and a everything fast forward.
I'm looking forward to changing my 18 minute mile to a 14 minute mile...or better. I know that I must push myself and be smart while doing it. I have to make it to the end in May, and there's no stopping me.
TIP: Ryan Bayne's program's for running are listed below for you beginning runners that are looking for a guide. If you have any questions, please email me; gmoore@wfls.com
