Training Week 1

The running app I use has had it's embedded map function broken for quite a while now so I have not been logging my runs. Hopefully they'll fix the problem soon as the community is getting pretty impatient.

Anyway, I figured that since I'm doing the Rock n Roll Half Marathon in June and the RSVP bike ride in August, I'd better start getting back in shape. I found a half marathon training app and am slowly working up my duration and distance. Today was my first "long run" training day and I have to admit I cheated a little by taking the mostly downhill route, but at least I got out and did the run. I am hoping a nice side effect from all this training is that I'll actually look OK in my bathing suit in Costa Rica over Thanksgiving.

One day Runkeeper will fix their embedded maps and you'll be able to see my route.

Until then, here are the vital stats:
Distance 5.01 mi, Duration 1:04:46, Average Pace 12:55 / mi
