Marathon training day 1

Today my 16 week adventure to the Chicago marathon started. On my schedule was a four mile easy run but I only had time for three. Great I'm already starting out on a bad note!  Well think again... I have basically been training for the last year and I have been participating in the runners world run streak for the last 29 days. I am already at 10 mile long runs. I am making myself stay true to the weekly mileage goals of my training schedule though so I will make that mile up sometime this week.

Besides marathon training we are in the process of selling our home and purchasing a new one. Our current house is under contract so now we must find somewhere to move. It hasn't been that easy. We have a very specific area and lot type we want. There are not too many options that meet our requirements. We will find one it is just going to take some time. Or the perfect house may show up on the market tomorrow one never knows. 

Tomorrows training calls for a 6 mile speed workout. 1 mile warm up then 3 minute fartlek intervals for 3 miles and a 2 mile cool down. Sounds fun!!
