i ran 3 miles this morning. that means i ended up at 12 miles for this week. not bad. tomorrow i'm planning a 4-mile run.
i need to pick a marathon to train for and to run. vancouver is in may, but i don't have time to train for that. it takes 18-20 weeks to train for a marathon, after you've built up a solid mileage base for several months. it's probably more realistic for me to shoot for a 'thon in the fall. possibly portland--i hear good things about that race. i don't particularly want to run the seattle marathon, which is held during the thanksgiving weekend, and typically gets terrible weather. cold and wet. cold weather alone is actually good for running a marathon; it's the wet part i don't want to deal with.
