The first week of training is always difficult. In the back of my mind I kept thinking, "maybe I'm doing too much, too early." During every run I felt like I was freakishly tuned to each ache and pain in my legs. The 10-mile jaunt at the end of the week left me wondering why I'm following a marathon plan.
Now a few days and workouts later my body has recovered from the rough week and is begging for more punishment. Its been a while since my legs felt this good. I think I'll go leg press a VW Beetle a few times after this blog.
Week 1 consisted of Hal Higdon's plan with minor changes; the first being my lack of weight lifting due to the ACL pain I was experiencing, and the second due to soccer practice. Overall I managed approximately 28 miles in under 5 hours of running. Not a bad first week.
