Don't forget to check out Colorado Runner Magazine, the state's only running magazine.

The main reason for this blog is to keep you updated on my quest to run a marathon in all 50 states. After each marathon, I will post my race report here. This will give you a little more insight into the event in case you are looking for a marathon to train for.

I will also keep you posted on how my training is going.

Thanks for reading!

Week Log: 27 July - 2 Aug 2008

Sun: 12M (1:31:44)
Mon: 5M (34:57)
Tues: 7M (59:34)
Today I did a track workout: 200, 200, 400, 800, 800, 400, 200, 200 with full recovery (200, 200, 400, 800, 400, 200 jog rests). I felt pretty good on the this, though it wasn't a speed demon type workout. I am happy that I ran a decent clip and got faster throughout. My splits were: 37, 39, 80, 247, 241, 78, 37, 36.
Wed: 6M (43:50)
One of the staples of a Jack Daniels training week is a speed workout followed by a tempo type workout the next day. Today I decided to do a tempo run, but didn't feel that it would be beneficial to do a full 3M tempo run since this was my first time doing this in over a year. So, I decided to do 3x1M with 60s rest. I did this on my normal 6M loop. Unfortunately, I ran the first one too fast and then got slower. But, all in all it was a good workout. My splits were: 6:10, 6:14 and 6:24.
Thurs: 5M (36:20)
Fri: 3M (23:24)
Sat: 5M (35:35)

Week Total: 43 (5:25:24 / 7:34 pace)
This was a very good week in that i ran every day and I did two workouts. I need to keep this up if I plan to get back into shape any time soon!
