Marathon Training Kicked Off, Sponsors Please
Today, one day late due to a last minute snow storm, I set off on my first official training run for the Edinburgh Marathon 2009. With 16 weeks to go before the big day, it was time to get off the build up runs and start on a proper program, when I have the finalised version of the program I’ll put up a link, basically still trying to figure out which day would be best to do my long runs on.
My aim was to run 10 miles, but after managing to get lost I ended up completing:
11.89miles @ 8:52 min/mi – time taken 1:45:20
I struggled for the last couple of miles with a groin strain, but since my longest run since September 2008 has been 8.7 miles, I was very happy to get this run under my belt.
I also setup the sponsorship for Alzheimer Scotland. If you’d like to sponsor me, please do so here:

Or follow the link I’ve added on the left of the website.
Lets smash the £500 target and help out this charity.
