Today I went to the gym, got on the treadmill, ran three miles, biked for ten minutes, stretched, then went home. My plan had been to bike 30 minutes, but I have had some persistent pain up the back of my right leg on the bike. I decided to give it a rest and start fresh tomorrow. It's too early in the process for that sort of thing.
On the plus side, I ran the three miles at a solid pace and it felt much easier on my lungs than the runs I did last week at the same pace.
I've decided to use the 18-week training schedule at the back of my marathon book, Marathon: The Ultimate Training Guide by Hal Higdon, which I bought at Runner's Soul. I'm still working on adapting it to my 12-week timeline.
