Saturday Water Jogging, Mile with Wendy and Running Thoughts

Enjoyed the water jog but need to put ipod in the water-proof case to keep it interesting.  Will have to wear the ipod on my head but it will be worth it.

Wendy did well.  She wants to go a little faster and seems ready to.

From Galloway's Book on Running:  Running Every Other Day - P. 266-267, "Dr. Sheehan changed from seven days to three...at 62, George ran his fastest marathon ever.  George now runs 10 miles every other day, and feels this maintains his condition better than running 5-6 miles every day.  He adds long runs when he wants to run a marathon. 
 Jack Foster, who took up running at 33 and ran a 2:11 marathon at age 41, celebrated his 50th bday in 1982 by running a 2:20 marathon.  This was incredible in itself, but even more so when you consider that he shifted to a three-day running week.  To maintain his competitive edge, Jack runs accelerations once a week.  On Saturdays Jack rides his bike 3-4 hours. 

When Wendy has developed the running habit (takes 3 weeks), we will start running every other day for two miles.  This will build endurance and speed recovery.  We'll do 3.1 once a week since she is training for a 5k.
