Left hammie/glute are feeling much better after the second ART treatment. Now that things are working like they are supposed to, the left leg is telling me I really need to strengthen it just a bit. So I am trying.
Official Announcement
Training for the Glass City Marathon (Toledo, OH, 4/26/2009) began today. Well, it officially kicked off yesterday but since that was a scheduled off day I thought I would announce it today. I'm again venturing into this marathon training following the Pfitzinger 18 week, 55 mile plan. So while the plan called for a week that looked like this:
Monday - Off
Tuesday - 7 miles with 10 strides
Wednesday - Off or cross training
Thursday - 9 miles
Friday - Off
Saturday - 4 miles
Sunday - 12 miles
I thought that easing back into it might be a bit more reasonable so I'm going with this:
Monday - Off
Tuesday - 5 miles (no strides, not sure how to do those on the TM)
Wednesday - 6 miles
Thursday - 5 miles
Friday - Off
Saturday - 4 miles
Sunday - 12 miles
And according to all available weather information it looks like I'll be running inside until maybe March. There is currently approximately 18-20" of snow on the ground (so far Grand Rapids in just December has received over 40" of snow) and a nice mix of sleet/rain/ice coming Christmas eve. Yay.
So wish me luck over the next 18 weeks and keep checking in to see how things progress.

Strides are tough on a TM, I nearly busted my face and ass the first time I tried... probably better to do on another run rather than risking a spill.
GOOD LUCK with this round of training!!!
Good luck!
Does the plan generally have 4 days running/3 days off? Interesting...
Excellent! Can't wait to watch your training progress. Good luck!
