posted a while back about my being a non-runner having signed up for the cooper river 10k april 6th with some friends. per my self-imposed completely non-professional training schedule, this past sunday I hit 3.5miles. run 3 days a week with my weekend run being the longest.
i've discovered that I hate running on the treadmill. 2.5 on a treadmill feels the same as 3.5 outside. even with a tv or music or something, treadmills suck. ready for it to get a little warmer.
anyone have tips for staying hydrated? during a run 2 weekends ago, I started feeling lightheaded towards the end of a 3mi run. I can't really run with a waterbottle, so I've started drinking more water on friday and saturday mornings before running sat. afternoon. any other tips?

Darrin, again, it's great to hear of the speed work and the core training. I know this will benefit you!I expect to buy some new shoes on Saturday and get out for a few miles of running. The feet aren't fully back to normal, but I think some work on them is better than none at all. I was doing some lunges last night, which hurt the plantar fasciitis, but then the foot felt improved this morning - the extra stretch seems to be good. Besides, if I'm running again, I can taunt floppo.Anyone see the SI article on Tony Gonzalez and his attempt to go vegan? (I think it was SI) One thing he mentioned is that after his strength workouts, he drinks Accelerade.

Honestly, I don't remember ever being this light.Got up this morning at 5 AM and shoveled half of my driveway before going to play basketball at 6:00. Apparently the shoveling loosened up my muscles, because I was like the Energizer Bunny out there. I felt like Dennis Rodman the way I was dominating the boards. Got done around 7:15 and went to the gym to do my 45-minute, 6-mile interval workout on the treadmill. Got home around 8:30, finished the driveway, cleaned up, and made it to the office by 9:30. Not a bad day's work so far, if I do say so myself.....Tomorrow I'll be doing my first 16-miler of this particular training session. It's crazy that Boston is less than three months away!!!
