First Two Weeks

My first two weeks of training started off different than I had expected. I ended up having to travel for work. I was leaving for work from 12/7 to 12/19. I never thought my first two weeks of training for the marathon would be on the complete other side of the world...the Philippines!!!

Although it was nice outside and about 80 degrees every day I mainly trained on the treadmill in the hotel since I didn't know the area and didn't want to get lost. It was also very hard getting the energy to train each day since I was working at night (9pm-6am) and had to try to sleep during the day. Here is a clip of me at 7am after I came home from work explaining my training in the Philippines.



Each day after coming back to the hotel from work at 6am I would head down to the gym in the hotel. Although I was tired I never missed a day of training. The below clip will show you the gym that I spent the first two weeks of my training in. I was there so much the workers knew me as you can see by them waving in the video.



Look forward to more post this week now that I'm back in the States and will have to run in 20-30 degree weather...oh boy.
