Welcome to my training blog. I've been posting my mileage and thought here as I participate in a marathon training program that started in June and takes me right up to the marathon: through 18 weeks, 435 miles, and countless Calories. Check back whenever you're interested to know more about my training milestones and challenges!

I've partnered with Center for Independent Futures, a non-profit organization which offers progressive programming aimed at giving individuals with disabilities access to the skills and opportunities to realize a full life. Please help support my fundraising and donate to CIF.

If you're still feeling flush after helping me reach my fundraising goal, there are a few things I could use myself for my running. Here's my wishlist.

Today's Workout

-Warm-up, 4x one minute 6 mph/one minute 8 mph interval reps, and cool-down totaling two miles.
-3x8 inclined bench press
-3x10 inclined pec flies
-3x10 inclined chest presses
-3x10 bicep curls (holy crap, check out the dude in this animation), each side
-3x10 tricep pull-down things. Who the hell knows that these are called?
-3x6 each forward, lateral, and bent shoulder flies.
-3x8 lat pull-downs
-3x15 bicycle crunches
-3x10 Roman chair

I've been training since early January by myself and two of my goals have definitely been weight loss and bulking up my arms a bit. Once I start an actual marathon training program I imagine I will be doing a bit less weight lifting and more distance training rather than interval training (which aids in losing fat). Lifting will still, however, be a really important part of my regimen, albeit less of a focus.
