HOLY COW. Training started June 3, and now I can't believe I'm two weeks into it! I truly started training on my own in early April, then got in the groove of running, then went to Italy for two weeks (a magnificent break from exercise!), and came back full-throttle after Memorial Day. I've been training at 11 minute mile pace (my current goal for the marathon), running 3-4 miles 3-4 times per week.
This past Wednesday, I ran the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge (3.5mi) with the Foundation. It was wonderful to be running in CENTRAL PARK! with my co-workers, and feeling the pressure of a real race. My time was WAY faster than I've been training and it felt great to push myself.
Today, oh man, I tried Bikram Yoga for the first time at Yoga to the People. It was exhausting... and as my roommate Lauren said, it feels like a religious experience. The class was 90 minutes and temperature was above 105 degrees. I'm not used to Yoga, much less a class packed with 50 people, all sweating bullets. I didn't even know my shins could sweat?!?!?
I felt like a new person afterwards and can't wait to see how I feel tomorrow... hopefully completely relaxed and all stretched out for the weekend.
Finally: my Team in Training website!
