Just realized, as I finished my weekly update, that today marks exactly one hundred days since I began training in mid-May. Thought it would be fun to share some stats about those 100 days:
- 49 days of running
- 27 days of cross-training (primarily spin class at the Target Center Lifetime Fitness)
- 76% of those days, then, had some form of exercise
- 18 miles is my longest run so far
- 10 runs have been 10 miles or longer
Hey, this is Jolina's daughter, Alexx. She gave your blog a shout-out on Facebook. I wanted to say that, in my meager 18-year-old opinion, your writing is good. I found the earlier entries more compelling, but that's probably because all the stuff about marathon training is foreign to me.
Thanks, Alexx! I'm glad you like it. And I'd agree with you on the earlier entries being more compelling: that's definitely the stronger, more coherent narrative at work, not just my semi-regular training updates. That's the stuff that I want to turn into part of a published book.
