2 down 16 more to go

Two weeks of my training plan done! :) Feeling so great about it!! Been quite consistent with getting my runs in but have been skipping some of my strength workouts which is not ideal. Need to get better at doing those regularly too. 

For a few weeks before I started this, I had been doing nothing in terms of movement or exercise so my body is going through a coping phase. But its not so bad that it has become sore in protest. Energy & enthu levels are still quite high and I think thats the benefit about starting the training at a slow volume suited to my prior activity levels. 

My current training volume feels quite comfortable. Yesterday I ran 50 minutes straight (at a nice and easy pace of 8'15") and the thought of running 1 hour in a couple of weeks is not the least intimidating. But sometimes the errant thought creeps in that soon I would be running for 3 / 4 hours and that really gives me the butterflies - so I try not to think about it and tackle each training block as it comes. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
