Training March 3:
Run: None
Lift: Upper body, push day

... are we in the middle of some sort of constipation epidemic? Because yesterday I made my way down the dairy aisle at a Super Target in the south suburbs of Chicago and I'm so not kidding you when I say that as far as the eye could see were products to make you poop.

Seriously. EVERYTHING. It's as though the dairy industry has commandeered our digestive systems, and if in fact we hope to partake of their delicious cheeses and yogurts, we'd better be ready to get regular.

In light of all of my issues last week, I tend to welcome such things with open arms. Besides, it's like a little built-in excuse to eat yummy cheese.

So I'm going back and forth with keeping some sort of training log now that the official running season is upon us. Well, it's coming up in a few short weeks. I don't really have anything I feel as though I need to be keeping track of, there's nothing I'm actually training for, but I'd like to start tracking how much I actually run. Plus, it might give me a good excuse to write here more every day.

At the top of each entry will be the projected work out for the day. It'll be in italics before I run/lift/whatever and then bolded upon completion. On Sunday's, I'll tally it all. Since I'm following Hal Higdon's guide to marathon training, I'll hot link to it, too. I'm game to at least give a crack at trying to run farther distances; it seems ridiculous that someone who runs as much and for as long as I have shouldn't at least take a stab at it. If I hate it again, it's not like the training is a waste of my time, you know?

This is why I need the weather to improve. I'm bored.
