Broad St Run 2009

Last night I decided that I will begin training for the Broad St run in Philly. The race is first weekend of May and is 10 miles. I found a workout that suggested a 10 week workout but we are already halfway through week 3 so I have cut it short to be 8. I mapped all my routes to get up to 8 miles and ran a small run today of 3.5. I have found when it comes to running races, I've procrastinated so this one I just said f'it. It should be fun and it has added motivation to my normal workouts. I find I do better when I work towards goals. I did have a goal of getting to 185 lbs but I have to admit I haven't been staying on top of it as much as I want. I see this easing my way to the ideal weight. I also plan on running the full marathon in October in Bmore. I previously said half marathon but I think if I'm going to train I'm going to take the time to prepare for a full marathon. The only thing that may be problem is doing all this training in the summer, I don't want to wake up early to do my training, but it may come to that.
