Week One of many where I will attempt to train for the marathon.  The goal race is the Victoria full in October - luckily I think we have a long way... and a lot of distance to cover!

My reason for completing the full - to support a running friend in his quest.  As of this week, training has begun.  I will be working within the Full Marathon clinic out of the 109 Street running room store.  This week was the first clinic night and it would appear the clinic leader has run longer than I've been alive!  This is slightly reassuring; however, he runs so much, I'm hoping that I'll be able to get by.

Also this week was 5 Peaks run #2 - the race didn't go super well for me.  It took me awhile to warm up and then something was not right with my shoes - two large blisters on my heels to prove it.

At the end of week one, total distance 20 km.
