Off to a slow start

I ran a measly 6 miles Sunday morning and another 3 miles yesterday. combined with the 4 I ran last Wednesday, my 7-day total was (drumroll) 13 miles. So I basically ran a half marathon over the course of a week. Not quite the training log of braggadocio.

So, I am preparing for the Houston Marathon on January 14, 2012. I still have plenty of time to train, but shame on me since I signed up for the race back in the Spring. I should be running like Chariots of Fire, but given my obsessive compulsive devotion to procrastination, I have to admit, I've been tied up with meaningless, tedious distractions. I only have so much time in the day!

Still, below is my lazy man's sure fire 4-month training program that is guaranteed to get me across the finish line, albeit rode hard and put away wet.
