Why is that its been more than a month that I have blogged about anything? There are a bunch of reasons that are keeping me busy now a days. By far the one that that has kept me busy since early May is Running. I was never a long distance runner. I used to do short sprints during my school and college days. Now all of a sudden why the long distance runs? I have been meaning to get some workouts to keep healthy but never got a reason to push myself. So I thought maybe if I signup for an event then I might do it. I am doing a half marathon(Chicago) in Sep 2009. As part of this I follow the training from Hal Hidgon. I run 3 times a week and cross train for 2 days and do strengthen exercises for 1 day. This has been my routine for 2 months now.
I track my training at mapmyrun. I use a nike heart rate monitor and use the imapmyrun iphone app to track the running and workouts. I have been doing roller blading as my cross training sport. Here are some good running links that I have gathered during my research
I hope to continue my training for another month and a half and plan on completing the half marathon.
Good luck with your running – you are trying something that some of us are not willing to bike let alone run.
Nice work man. I did not know you’d signed up for the 1/2.
Anyway, watch the mileage and don’t overdo it. Good luck!
