Masters of Marathon???

First off some "big" news. I officially got accepted to BYU for grad school. I'll be continuing on in... I think I put Computer Engineering, but I guess the details are negligible... I should probably find out though :). Anyway, that was a piece of good news! I'm currently heavily involved with research with a couple of the professors, and recently took over one of the research projects. It's good to know I'll be around for another few years, and it's good to know I'll have a job too!


In other news it's time for my weekly report on running. I just looked up a training plan this last week, and after some playing around found what looked like a plan I could follow for the time being. This week my long run was 8 miles (which is twice as far as I've run in months) and it really wasn't bad. Jarom came with me and it was the farthest he's run in his life! I talked to him almost the whole way. I'm used to running basically everything as fast as I can, but I decided this year I'd try to stick with a real training plan. So I used runner's world smart coach to pop out a running plan. Currently I'm working up to a half marathon by the end of this semester, and then when the summer comes I'll start up a more time consuming full marathon training schedule. I'm hoping having all my workouts set will help me be more motivated to wake up and go running each morning. Here's a review of last week, as well as a preview of next week!

I put the actual distances in red, along with the week total. I made the plan late Wednesday night, so it was too late to go running then... Otherwise it was a successful week!

Have a great one!
