Marathon Training - Week 1 in review

Well I made it through the first work week of marathon training and managed to fit in all of my week day runs! It's still the first week so I'm still getting in the routine, but I already feel stronger. I can't wait until it warms up and the sun stays out longer. I miss my post-work runs in the park. Lunchtime treadmill sessions are a poor substitute for feeling the sun on my face and the wind on my back. You never have to stand in line for the park. Which leads me right into my first blog-rant. I have a HUGE problem with what I have dubbed the "Clothes Walkers." These are women at the office who work out at lunch WHILE STILL WEARING THEIR WORK CLOTHES! Someone please tell me I am not alone in my disgust at this!?! The work out room is like a freakin sauna and they are working out. I KNOW they are sweating. Not only is this gross but these women are the ones causing me to have to wait in line for the treadmill. Errrr!! I am seriously considering putting up my own sign next to the "Please limit your treadmill use to 30 minutes, thanks, HR" that says "Please change into workout clothes before working out, thanks, your coworkers."

Ok - "Clothes Walkers" are totally gross!!! I used to see people in the tunnels at lunch power walking in their dresses and sneakers all the time. UGH

I can't even fathom it..

Good luck with your training girl!
