Running

I have wanted to start working on my running page for a while now. It's a little naked now, but with time my hope is that this page will be a wealth of information on all things RUNNING!

I found a great site called Daily Mile. It's a great resource to track your mileage, how you're feeling, calories burned, etc.

MILEAGE TRACKER

Isn't that great? You can also track other activities too: swimming, cycling, yoga, weightlifting, and even some more obscure activities like rock climbing or CrossFit. Pretty cool.

TRAINING PLANS
Right now I am following Hal Higdon's Novice Marathon Training Schedule.  It's pretty straightforward and a good place to start if you are thinking about running your first full marathon.  There are plenty of other sites out there with great training plans, as well.  I also encourage you to check out Runner's World for all things running!  Keep checking back for new ones!

NUTRITION

Check out my post on eating right while training for a marathon! Lots of great stuff there!

TUNES

Now that you've got a training plan it's time to make a playlist for you iPod.  I've created a youtube channel with what's being pumped into my ears.  Check it out for some inspiration!
