2009 Boston Marathon Training Week 1

This week was week 1 which is always one of the hardest for me. The actual run is not that bad because I start off doing just 7 or 8 miles but it's the many cold, icy, snowy, wet, and long runs ahead which weighs on you mentally at the beginning. The good thing is by week 3 or 4 I really enjoy those long runs up until it comes time to bang out 17 miles which just becomes a matter of survival.
