So as we go along with our training, Jess and I will post updates on how we're doing with our training. This will always be the "Thursday post" and it will usually consist of what we did, how much we did and how life is going with doing stuff. Friday's will probably be our rest days so thursday in a sense marks the end of one training cycle and the start of another.

This week was the second week into 2011 and co-incidentally the second week of the marathon program. Second weeks usually suck the most because adrenaline gets you through the first week and you feel fantastic. Second week hits and you realize that you might have set off a little bit too exuberantly. Well second week hit, and at first it was like this isn't so bad. Then I ran some intervals and proceeded to retract all of the above statements. I've come to the conclusion that intervals are awesome for the results that come out the other end, but suck unbelievably so to do. So this week I ended up doing 30 miles, which isn't a whole lot, most of this owes to the fact that my super long run of the week went up in smoke when I felt as slow as a sloth that day. So hopefully the next week should be a little bit more.
Jess
As of the tuesday evening, Jess has FINALLY gotten gmail and as of yesterday, I have sent her an invitation for her to start writing on this blog, so you guys can look forward to posts from her. But now that I'm training with Jess on a semi regular basis I have exciting news to bring you from her training to fill her portion of the updates. Her training is going really good, she's getting quicker and quicker which is exciting. She said that her runs are also starting to feel a bit easier given the same distances so she's upping the speed. I actually don't know how much she ran this week, but we're both ramping up our weekly distances.
~Cheers Guys
