Day 1, 10 weeks to Marathon !

It's Tuesday morning lastnight I did a easy 10.5 k in 50 mins. I wore old shoes because it was raining and because it was a short run.
I have been currently doing between 50-90 k per week depending on my long runs and if I am feeling good. i am not a fast runner but i do enjoy the longer runs (50 k +).
This is a blog to keep me honest in my training and to keep a log.
I wear asics kayano's (great shoe) injinji socks (yeah I know they are expensive but WOW until you have worn them forget about blisters or any foot problems). I have a fuel belt that holds 4 8oz( dont know what that is in ml ) bottles with a little pocket for gels and stuff. I sweat heaps and need to take plenty of water/ades to replenish. I find a gel half way on long runs (25 k +) really helps. I admit I must look a tool at 3 am in the morning with ipod on one arm fuel belt around my waist, gps watch on one arm and heart ratemonitor on the other !
Till tomorrow take care !
