One down...

I've got the first week of marathon training under my belt.

Today was my long run.

I ran on the treadmill.

For. ten. long. miles.

I must say, I have never ran more than 5 on the treadmill before. I never imagined that I would be doing ten miles on one.

Not as bad as I thought it would be, but it definitely wasn't enjoyable.

I miss running outside.

So, for this first week of training, I have logged 38 miles.

It only goes up from here.

It may have been boring but I bet your tush wasn't frozen. I'm SERIOUSLY impressed! You go, girl!

I did my 10 on the treadmill last night too! It helped that the treadmill shut down after 6.50, so I had a quick break, and when I reset it, knowing I only had 3.5 to go made it seem to go much quicker!

@Saralyn - thanks! And yes, I was very thankful that my tush wasn't frozen (or anything else for that matter).

@Jamie - my treadmill started doing a cooldown at 5 miles so I messed with the buttons for another mile and then reset it. So, the last four I picked it up...it was nicer on the mind not to see 6+ miles on the face of the treadmill.
