As many of you know, I have decided to begin running now, so that I'm in tip-top shape when I officially start with the group on June 10th. Following advice from runners I have had the pleasure to talk with as well as the book Marathon that this whole program is based off of, I have run 3-4 times a week (depending on my schedule) with 1 stretch-training / workout-at-home day thrown in there, and of course, Saturday being my designated long run day. With all that being said, I'm very happy to report that I ran 6.2 miles this past weekend! My pre-training, needless to say, is going very well, and I'm amazed how much fun I'm having in the process. I honestly never thought I would be saying that, but it's true!
Also, I've been studying the Italian language (from CD's) and that has been going pretty well. Not as quickly as I would like it to sometimes, but I keep moving forward. Right now, I can give very basic directions (like it's here or it's there) as well as a say that I would like to eat. You know, the important stuff. So hopefully, by the time I get to Florence in November, I will be able to hold decent conversations in Italian. How I keep hoping!
Well, gotta run! I'll update you soon!
