Marathon Training Plan

Today, 11/19, Sarad, our trainer for TNT, sent out the marathon training schedule. Looking forward to it!

*******************************************************************************


I'm sort of in the pre-training stages right now. I definitely took some extra rest days after the 10K. It was brutally hot that day and made me not want to think about running! But alas, I'm back in action. I've got the itch and I'm caught in between that place where I want to be resting just enough, but also want to be increasing my stamina. This is my pre-marathon training plan. I will update weekly as I make my progress.
