And so it begins
As we were starting out on our 8-mile run today hubby asked me if today was the start of my official Boston training. I had to think a moment, but then realized it was! You see, I pretty much have been in perpetual training mode, so I don’t really think in terms of a training beginning and end. But with Boston I was eager to get back into a more formal schedule that includes hill and speed work (both of which I’ve curtailed of late. I’ve just been getting in the miles). I’ll be following Pete Pfitzinger’s 12/55 program (12 weeks, up to 55 miles per week), but will be tweaking it to fit in a 50K in February and a marathon April 4. I won’t bore you with the details as I did last year, but I’m sure I’ll be whining blogging about BUAL™ workouts in the coming weeks.
(Oh my God — Boston’s only 12 weeks away!)

Yay Boston! Hard to believe it’s only 12 weeks…this means my marathon is only 11 weeks. Gulp. Good luck with training!

Woohoo! Good luck! Hopefully the weather will cooperate with you.
