Pre-Marathon Training: Day 1

Way back from the time before Covid-19, do you remember those days, I was training for the Pittsburgh Marathon. Between a life-changing pandemic, my son being sick, and my own personal injury I made a hard choice to take a step back from training.

After a few years, being cleared by a doctor, and with the loving support of my husband I have decided to start this journey once again. I am hoping not only for a successful training, I am most excited for a less stressful training.

Here I wanted to share my pre-training schedule and how my runs go. Its a way to keep me honest and let everyone know if my knee starts acting up again.
