"Official Training" Day 2

So Sunday was the second day of Run Wild Missoula training. This time, we took a lovely 2 mile jog from The Runner's Edge to Greenough Park and back. It went...ok. Before the run, Anders talked about taking walk breaks early and often on the long runs, which made me feel better about the fact that I wasn't going to be able to run the whole thing. I think I did wait a bit long to take my first walk break, and ended up walking more than I wanted to. Luckily, this week's training program is exactly the same as last week's, so I get another chance.

I feel really overwhelmed with the training schedule. I'm just not sure I'm going to be able to do it. Running even 1 mile doesn't feel like it's gotten any easier. However, this is just the second week so maybe it will get better by the end of this week. I'm told there is some sort of threshold that you cross and adding on miles doesn't seem so painful anymore. I'll be waiting anxiously...

In any case, today is a "rest" day, which I am grateful for!! Stay tuned to see how tomorrow goes. I'm going to attempt to go to The Lift AND run 1 mile, in order to stick to the mileage recommended on the training schedule.
