Week 1 of training done

Mon: 5.11 miles @ 8:03 pace
Tues: 13.55 miles @ 7:09 pace
Wed: 9 miles @ 6:44 pace (4 miles @ 6:03)
Thurs: 6 miles @ 7:53 pace
Fri: 5 miles @ 7:36 pace
Sat: 7.50 miles @ 7:05 pace
Sun: 16.00 miles: 1st half: 7:07 pace. 2nd half: 6:44 pace

total: 62.16 miles

After one week of training I have to say, this is going to be hard.  I still don't have the speed I feel I had during the summer, but hopefully I'll pick that up with a few more weeks of training. That Wednesday run was supposed to be faster than 6:03 so hopefully I'll see some improvement.  17 weeks to go.

Also, why the heck do I continue to plan for spring marathons? When do I think it'd be a good idea to train through single digit temps and icy roads? Granted, it's Minnesota, so my window for good training is limited to about two and a half months, I'd much rather run in 90 degree weather with humidity than putting 5 layers on just to make sure my junk doesn't freeze.  It's irrational is what it is.
