Comments: My first day of marathon training! Despite the auspicious occasion, my schedule kept the effort pretty low-key.Got out pretty early and stretched well. Over the two-day rest I didn't run or stretch (but did more walking than I intended). So the warm-up was kind of creaky.The run started unpleasant but smoothed out nicely by the ten-minute mark. I even got an up-tempo pace to finish it off, a nice coda to the effort. But the slow hills of the malencon were noticeable to my effort today. I clearly need more in the tank.
