Bought a Garmin Forerunner 210 Heart Rate Monitor and GPS. I felt I needed something to upgrade my training. How can I improve my performance if all I ever do is lace up and jog out the miles? I need to pay more attention to the details -- speed, hills, diet, all of it.
I haven't been exercising (doctor's orders) for the past month, which has been a real drag. I have zero control over so many things in my life right now; feels like nothing is going my way. My running supports the illusion that I actually have a say in how my life goes. But I'm a little worried I lost my groove.
My first 5 EZ miles on the marathon schedule felt a little harder than expected. Nothing terrible, but a little ache in left ankle and some random new muscle on my right leg. I guess it will take a few more runs to work out the kinks. I've got 16 weeks to train, so hopefully I'll be able to pick up the pace.
I need/hope/want the Tucson Marathon to be my PR marathon. It's billed as a "downhill" run, so very promising on that front.
Timing is right too. December 9, 2012.
Rooting for cool weather to make up for Miami Marathon this year. Blah.
