day one, cold and miserable

Well i started my training for robie today and it was about 38 degrees and windy. i think my wife is trying to kill me slowly with this training plan. last night i worked out at the gym doing squats, leg curls and extensions. i followed that up with some lunges in the gym and high leg skipping. i started todays work out with a 10 minute run to the school in our neighborhood to use their track for some speed work. i was supposed to do 4x400 at a 1:45 pace. i ran the first one in 1:33 and then couldnt finish the next one. i augmented this work out with a sprint, walk, sprint, jog, sprint. i finished up with a 16 minute run, the long way back to the house. i am feeing pretty good for a first work out, but it will be a long road ahead. i am not telling anyone that i am running robie creek this, year except for my wife. i am doing this for me and dont want any other pressure. i want to know that i did it simply because i wanted to. well i am off for now see you on thursday.
