We had almost twice as many people in my group during my second week. It is really great to see such a high-level of participation and people from all fitness levels and experience. Over half of our group are first-time marathoners.
Our 7-mile run this morning was a piece of cake. It probably felt this way because I'm used to running this distance at a much faster pace (about 6 or 7 minutes per mile, instead of the 10-minute mile we've been averaging). Training for a marathon is much different than short-distance running and I've had to adapt to slowing down. I'm sure I'll appreciate this much more as we get into the low 'teens of our mileage goals in the coming weeks.
