Hare today, Philly in 22 weeks (or bust)

Chronicling the training for my first marathon in Philadelphia Nov. 22.

Day 5

5 miles on the treadmill. Finished my first week and cleared the way to go out this weekend and not think about running again until Monday.

It’s silly, but 5 miles of continuous running, a little more than 50 minutes, feels pretty huge to me. I’ve definitely never been a runner, just a casual treadmiller during my gym rotations. I never would’ve guessed I’d ever run 5 straight miles. It’s nice to have little congratulatory benchmarks along this unprecedented journey. So, yay me.
