The Road To 2012 NYC Marathon – Summary of T-49 Week.

Highlights:

• Completed C25K Week 2, started Week 3.  Still feeling comfortable so far.  Looking at schedule, Week 4 is where I expect to start to feel a bit pushed (2 x 5 minute running blocks).
• Books, books, books:

• Core Performance Endurance	Marathon: You Can Do It!
  Marathon: The Ultimate Training Guide	The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer

• Skim read the first two. Just trying to get the highlights of each initially.
• Identified some races to enter into locally.  The Run Nassau/Long Island Marathon series has some 5k – 5mile races scheduled from Feb – April, culminating with the Long Island Marathon in early May.  Now, I’m not crazy (completely).  Won’t be signing up for LI Marathon, but the question is should I sign up for the 10k or the Half-Marathon that they also run on that weekend.  It’s setup to be 1/2 way to the NYC marathon.  I’ll see how Jan goes and sign up.
• Also identified another running group organizing stuff, but it’s more NYC based, and literally all over NYC.  Not sure I can be bothered to do that much commuting even though they have a LOT of events.  Will keep an eye out.
