An account of my runs in preparation for some upcoming races. In this blog in addition to my daily running rants, I will link to sites and articles that I found useful while training and comment on how I thought it improved my performance.

2 weeks of 6X week runs
After starting off 2012 week1 with 3 runs totalling 15 miles, I decided that it was time to make a daily run habit with sundays as break day. Its been hard but fun, week 1 ran 30 miles did gym workouts 5 days and no aches pains, thanks to the perfect weather. This past week 2 was a bit colder cloudy had to wear thermals, and some small pains starting bothering, but I managed to run 25 miles and worked out 5 days.
Bottom line, I need to workout weekdays before work for 30-40 mins max, and run at lunch time for 30-40 mins and end the week with a 60+ min run on saturday morning. Doing time based running rather than distance or speed helps make it easy to focus and I expect that over the coming weeks I will run faster and mileage will increase !!!
One last thing, I am sure that I need to do two more things 1) Log my workouts in the gym, keep track of sets reps and monitor progress, 2) Make a meal plan, need to eat breakfast mid-morning post workout and pre-run snack, lunch, mid afternoon snack, early evening meal, and dinner, but important is to eat the correct things, reduce sodium (salt), sugar and other obvious bad calories. Need to drop pounds, a pound a week for the next 10-12 weeks !! Lets go , lets go, yeaaaaa !!
