Imogene Training- Day 1

So, as many of you know I was planning on doing the Imogene race in Telluride, CO this year. K well apparently you have to sign up like right away, because it fills up insanely fast. Anyway I totally missed out and wasn't able to do it. This year though I am determined. I already found people to train with me. BTW I love you Fish, and Jordan. And it is on. So ya I'm going to blog about training as a way to motivate/track myself. Like not everyday but once a week. So ya, these posts probably won't be super good and I kinda am rusty at the whole blog thing. Like I think the last time I did blog was in April or something.
Anyway about training. I'm totally out of shape! I ran 3 miles today and it took me 37 minutes plus I walked the last half mile. So I'm still on track race wise but that I think is pathetic. I guess you have to start somewhere though. and did I mention I am sore as crap. Like my legs fill like lead. K so ya, here is my training plan. I'm going to up my mileage by half a mile every week (super doable) Then starting the first of February I'm going to go up a mile every week. By this time I should be able to straight up run 9.5 miles. Which is good cuz according to the Internet to be on track for the race I should be able to run one mile by this time. So ya, and just to clarify I'm not going to run like 20 miles straight everyday. the total mileage for a week should be between 20-30. So like what my sister said to do was take like one day a month and get to that. I know this post is long and boring so if you have checked out by now that's okay you can quit reading, I wont mind. So these posts will be every Wednesday. Ya, um go me and training wahooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
