Training starts this week

May 14th. That's the day I've had in my mind for awhile now. May 14th. The day my "official" (suggested) training starts.

Part of an email I got today, courtesy of The 3 Day:

Countdown: 24 Weeks
Your Training Schedule for This Week:
Monday	Rest
Tuesday	3 miles	Easy walking
Wednesday	Rest
Thursday	3 miles	Moderate walking
Friday	30 minutes	Easy crosstraining
Saturday	3 miles	Easy walking
Sunday	3 miles	Easy walking

Technically, Monday is a rest day. But Wednesday there will not be much time for the working out stuff, so I may have to switch that around. Three miles all this week. That'll be easy. I have a few routes in the neighborhood that are about 3 miles each.

I'm ready for it.

I think this weekend I'll look for a camelback and pretty soon I'll look for a new pair of shoes. Or two. I also got myfree order of Thorlos socks. They're supposed to be great for the walk. They're really thick and fun. I think I'll try them out and I may order more.

I think this week it will start to sink in how real all this is.

I'm ready for it.
