A journey of 8 months starts with the first few weeks (and all that cliched wisdom). I finished the first three weeks of my conservative, gradual, perfect base training phase last week. This was three weeks of running 8kilometres 6 times a week at about 5:04 per kilometre. Nice easy base distance.
This next three weeks sees me raising the weekly total to 57 kilometres. The first 2 weeks are 6 equal runs of 9.5 kilometres. The third week starts the long process of finding a long run once a week.
I am very excited. Although it is such early days, I love progress. Just simply moving up a notch is exciting and encouraging to me. I love running, but I love even more running progress.

Just found your blog site and enjoy reading it. Good luck with your new site and business. Goal achievement is important to runners and lots of others. Seems like you get a lot from your running, and that’s what many of us enjoy. Appreciate what you said about watching runners progress. Good luck getting ready for your race. I post with another running friend, Amy, and we’ll look forward to reading more of your site sand following your progress. Keep up the good running and posting! Tom
