Today marks 3 weeks of training

So my most excellent adventure started 3 weeks ago today. I've now run a total of 50 miles, lost 3 pounds and have pieced together something of a training plan. At this point I'm not even running the distance of a Marathon in a week. By July 29th I hope to be able to run the entire distance of 26.2 miles - in less than 4 hours! This weekend I have my first training race and my longest run thus far. The Dolphin South End Runners sponsor races almost every weekend of the year. They have a 10k (6.2 miles) race this Sunday. I plan to take it easy in this event. My goal is to finish the race in less than an hour and run a little extra to increase my mileage for the day to 7 or 8 miles...
