The Training

Without conditioning your body, you might as well hang it.  It’s no use to get out there and get hurt.  For the past three Half-Marathon I ran with pain on my knee.   No more!  For training,  I take a 45-50 lbs. backpack with me up and down the mountain.   It’s 1.4 mile each way.  If I have more time, I go around the mountain, that’s 5 miles.   I’ve gained some ground in the past couple of months.   It seems to be working out.  This is what I am doing to strenghten my core.  The goal is to complete the Full-Marathon without any incident.
