Off and running...

Today was a big day, day one of the 12-week Tely-10 training program. The program began with a 15 minute easy run which I did this morning in the rain. I felt pretty good, but I was happy to see my watch hit the fifteen minute mark. This year's race, the 79th in total, takes place on July 23rd.

I've been training indoors for the past few weeks to get myself back in shape to begin the Tely 10 training using the treadmill, recumbent cycle, and rowing machine. I've been feeling pretty good about everything and today was a little milestone along the way, the first outdoor run since last fall. My goal this year is to increase my speed and knock 20 minutes off last year's time - lofty, but doable.

Tomorrow's a rest day which should leave me some time to catch up on my writing - that's the intention, but you know what they say about intentions and the road to you know where.
