Week 1 Day 1

I'm following Nike Run Club's 18 week marathon training plan for this, with some extra buffer to account for holidays, balancing school workload, and procrastinating. It's totally free and comes with pro coaches/athletes talking you through the runs so I credit all running success I've had to them.

I'm not quite sure what else to write in these. Perhaps updates on how I'm feeling throughout training and in general. We'll see!

Things I'm excited for:

• Running the Boston Marathon. Mostly to see people come out and cheer everyone on!

• Meeting the other Team BMC runners!

• Putting on that sweet sweet blue and yellow jacket

• Having a consistent training routine with a deadline again

• Achieving new "longest run ever" records

Things I'm feeling nervous about

• Staying consistent through Boston winter and medical school

• Injuries - especially in my knees right now

• Hitting a potential wall at 20+ miles

• Nipple chafing
