Marathon training has begun

Today's Training: 5km @ Base pace

Not to be discouraged, or slowed down by a summer of being lazy, I have begun training for a marathon this winter. The event I'm training for is the Winterman on Feb 21, 2010. Now, you're probably asking yourself, why anyone would want to run a marathon in the middle of a Canadian winter, but really, it looks like fun. I hate running in the heat anyway, so this should be pretty good for me.

As per usual, I've pulled out my trusty Brain Training for Runners book, and am using an appropriate training plan from there (for the most part). I'm going to keep up with swimming on my non-running days, and try to get some cycling in as well, just to keep my fitness in all three sports relatively high for the winter.
