Marathon training

I started the training program for the St. Louis Rock n Roll marathon this week. I hope to post weekly updates on progress of training. As of now my goal is a sub 2:45 marathon which I believe is achievable. So far my fitness is reasonably high with only sporadic running the past 2 months. I am still tweaking my plan but hope to get my weekly mileage into the 70-80 mile/week range. Marathon date oct. 23
