First Day of Marathon Training

Today, I started my marathon training. I'm starting the cool runnings schedule a few weeks late. After working it out on a calender, today would be Day 7, Week 4. So, it's a 6 mile run.

The run felt pretty good and my cold weather gear was great. Running tights are way more comfortable than my warm-ups, and my running vest and hoodie kept me warm when the wind picked up. (The weather report was 21 degrees, feels like 6).

Also, Rockbox has a stopwatch. So, I broke my run into mile times.

Mile Times:
9:42
9:32
10:53
10:37
10:31
10:17
Total:
1:01:35.34

So, on average I was running 10:16 miles, which would give me a marathon time of around 4:30. Hopefully I'll see some improvement.
