A Real Training Schedule

I ran five miles today and felt really strong. It was a beautiful, sunny day - blue skies, upper 40s - and I was glad to be outside on the trail listening to Ira Glass on my iPod.

With officially eight more weeks until race day, I've adopted a formal eight-week training schedule from Runner's World. It's a straightforward and doable plan. All I have to do is stick to it, and I'll be ready for 13 miles!!!!
