However, most marathon training programs schedule 4 or 5 runs per week (the program that I'm thinking of using schedules 4 runs per week). So I ran again today (I ran yesterday too) and I'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow. I'll try to run again on Thursday and then a long run on the weekend.
I may also start blogging about some of the music that I'm listening to on my runs. I'm in a phase of running to mellower music - for some reason this relaxes me a bit and allows me to "get lost" in my running. Today, I threw a few Guster albums in my iPod shuffle before hitting the gym (OK...I whimped out on going outside today - I'll definitely get out in the elements from my long runs)

I'll share my experience w u for what it's worth. My 1/2 program was a 5 day per wk schedule. It was really hard in the beginning, I hurt all the time. I talked to my coach about cutting back & he told me not to, it just takes time 4 the body 2 adapt 2 all that pounding. I listened & he was right, after about 2 months the pain went away. Also it was nice that if I had to skip a run, I didn't feel so guilty cuz I still would get 4 runs in.
Good luck 2 u - miss u!
I've finished my first week of running 4x per week and I feel pretty good.
I did not do my three weekly runs on consecutive days (one rest day in between runs 2 and 3 due to scheduling issues) and it will most likely happen like that again this week.
However, now I feel a bit more confident to run on consecutive days. We'll see if I still feel that way in a few weeks :-)
