Higdon training program start

The Hal Higdon training program has officially started this week.  I've been doing a sort of "pre-training" but this is when it starts in earnest.  The first week is cake - three 3miles in the week and a 6 mile long run.  But it gets longer fast.  I'm a little worried - not about the long weekend runs, but about the shorter, but still long mid-week runs that I'll have to do in the mornings.  I just don't know what I'll be like at work after a 90 minute jog (though I do like how I feel at work after a 30 minute jog).

The problem with the three mile run from my house is that I've exhausted most of the unique routes - it tends to get boring.  So I may try to use work as a shove-off point for runs.  We'll see.  Stay tuned (I'm blogging to an imaginary audience...  heh...)
