So Far, So Good

Last weekend was the official start of the new training season and a nice 35 minute jog (funny only if the "j" is silent.) Yesterday, after a shakey start, I managed 5 miles on the treadmill although my MP3 battery life crapped out 1/3 of the way through. This would be lovely and encouraging if not for the fact that a while back, I commited myself to a race team and thought I'd be in shape to run a 1o miler this Saturday.
On the plus side, I ran the 5 treadmill miles and felt like I could have kept going. On the minus side, a treamill is a lot less impact than the lakefront path. The finish line for this weekend is on the Soldier Field 50-yard line and your image put up on the jumbo-tron. What remains to be seen is if my giant image will be of relief & victory or hobbling pain.
