Time Found!
by Nicholas Zeitler on Jan.22, 2010, under Uncategorized
I finally am on my journey towards training for the marathon. Today, I had the time and the nice January temperatures to get back in the swing of things. I ran almost 3.96 miles today at a much slower pace than I am used to at 10:47 per mile. Previously I was running 7 minute miles.
It is interesting that my challenge of learning to run slower wasn’t as hard as I thought, but then I had a little help from mother nature. The ice on sidewalks and on the sides of the streets made that challenge much easier. Now I just need to keep from getting injured, or over exerting myself. I started using a new iPhone App today during my run called Runmeter. It is awesome due to the many features that are needed for training. It has a built-in Stop Watch, Google Map Route tracker, Audio Annoucements that tell your times and distance, along with a handful of other cool features. I highly recommend it after just my first use. I will keep you all posted on my future progress. Maybe I will figure out how to post my times in an easier way. God Bless!
