Brandon - Week 2

First, I want to thank everyone for contributing to the blog and updating us on their progress.  I love that we're all feeling connected to each other through this, and that the blog is providing some motivation.  Keep it up!



I'm back on the horse.  After giving my knee a break for the week, I got out and ran about 1.6 miles today.  This is less than my training schedule calls for, but I wanted to take it easy to see how the knee felt.  Surprisingly, it felt pretty good, so I think I'll try to get back on the full training schedule. 

Another pleasant surprise was how easy the 1.6 mile run was.  My pace was nice, and I really didn't get very tired at all.  It's amazing how quickly your body begins to adapt.

Brandon - Day 1 - 2.5 miles

I ran my 2.5 miles today (see training schedule below).  I liked the route, so I'll probably use it for all my 2.5 milers.  I started feeling a little tired right around mile 1, and then again around mile 2.  Overall, though, it wasn't too bad.  I just kept an easy, steady jogging pace.  Here's the map of the route:
