St Jude Country Music Marathon Training - Week 1 and 2

I have completed the first two weeks of my 18 week Hansons Marathon Method training.  Everything has gone well so far.  This is a different approach for me and it has been a little hard running every run so far at a slow pace.  It took about three runs to get used to the pace and be able to sustain that pace.  The build up phase will last another three weeks then I get into the speed work which I'm looking forward to.  The image below shows my runs for the first two weeks.

I have 16 weeks left.  Hopefully I'll be able to get all the runs in while I am at Annual Training in two weeks.  Planning on getting up early and getting the runs in before the day ends.

Most importantly I am still raising money for St. Jude Hospital.  I am getting closer to my goal of $500.  I am currently at $350.  Thank you to everyone who has already donated to this great organization.

I will continue to give updates on my training throughout the next 16 weeks.  Thank you for reading.
