Los Angels Marathon Day 2

I told you before that I will posting here a lot, twice today already :0)…well, I have officially registered for LA Marathon on May 25th, 2009. I have already started training for it yesterday by running my first 4 miles @ 49.39 min. That’s 12.34 min a mile (6.43 KM). That’s really slow if you consider  running  a full marathon 26.2 mile (42.2 KM) at that speed. But this is only the start of a long journey to the finish line. You see, I have it all planned out and everyday I will post my schedule, time recorded for the run, my physical condition, nutrition, and more other things that I don’t know about and I will be learning taking on this odyssey.  Ok, today I have a 4 mile run same distance as yesterday only this time I will try to run it little faster. A 10.00 min a mile will be very good, but it’s almost impossible to shave of 2 min a mile in a matter of one day. But you know what they say, everything is possible. BTW…I have a friend from New York who’s running this marathon with me and he is a very experienced runner. Bill Cochran has run LA Marathon, NY Marathon, and qualified for the Boston Marathon twice. Those are only few races that I know of and I’m sure he run more then that. That’s my friend a guy that you want to have on your side and train with. Bill already sent me the full training schedule (I will post that one later).In short, at the end of this training schedule, I will have completed a run of  511 mile. That’s training only. If you add the actual race to it, that will be 537.2 (864.5 KM). That’s a lot of miles my friend. Ok…4 miles tonight under 11:00 min that’s good goal.

See ya later…
