Last week I read online that Boston Marathon registration going much faster than last year, so I decided to go ahead and sign up.  I had no idea just how fast it was going, however, because registration closed one day after I signed up.  In by a whisker.

So, anyway, I AM signed up, and I’m well into my training program.  The plan is to get my base weekly mileage up over 40 mpw by mid-December when the more intense portion of the training will start, and to max out around 55 miles per week in February.  That’s more mileage than I’ve ever done, so I’ll have to be careful to avoid injury.

Needless to say, all my fitness training will be focused on the marathon until April 19.  I’m looking forward to it.
