Training Summary, Week 1

Every adventure starts with a first step.  Here is my first step:

Week 1 Training Summary:
Total runs done: 2
Total miles: 5.5
Cross-training: not really

Challenges this week:
-Missed one run due to a previous scheduled appointment
-TV can be DVR'ed.  Repeat as needed
-Fuel/Nutrition: my schedule is running in the evenings, after work, when my energy is starting to be tapped out after sitting at my desk all day.  Need to figure out what snacks to eat late in the day to help give me the energy needed for the run. I downloaded the book The New Rules of Marathon and Half-Marathon Nutrition by Matt Fitzgerald.  Plan to start reading that in the next week.
-Finding a balance
-My back.  This will be an ongoing challenge.  I'll talk about my back in another post.
-Cross-training.  It needs to be done.

Successes this week:
-Learning to look ahead, scheduling future appointments on non-running nights
-After a lot of internet searching and money spent, I finally found a sports bra I like and that works for me.

Ready to tackle Week 2...
