Its only been four days since I began the 2008 plan and I'm already happy to see the mandatory rest day. There's a good possibility the 14 miles I've run so far this week have something to do with it. Perhaps its my neighbor's relentless barking dog combined with their lack of common decency to bring him inside at 1 AM in 40 degree weather. Hmm...
Not much to report on my training since I'm still feeling my way through the marathon plan. Hal Higdon's plan is well written and doesn't leave much for me to wonder about. The only issue so far has been finding a proper hill with adequate length to run repeats on. The lack of relief in southeast Virginia makes it difficult in that respect. The search continues.
Daylight, or lack there of, will become an issue next week. Right now I hardly have enough light to fit in a three mile run after work. So it only makes sense to run before work and then swim, bike, and lift in the evenings. This means I need to get up about 5:30. Ugh.

Best place to do hill repeats? The treadmill!! Most go to 12% which is more than enough for me to get a good hill session in.
