Feeling some of the miles

5mi. Getting a schedule together and placing a real marathon on the schedule means this is week #1 of training. With 8 weeks of base training, I can now follow a plan for the next 15 weeks. This is the first track run, with my short intervals to be at 5:36 pace and long (>800m) at 6:03 pace. I think I did the long ones correctly, my left glute/top of hamstring felt sore so I didn’t go as fast as Seth and Aldo on the shorter ones.
