I officially began training for a marathon this week. My schedule goes from Sunday to Saturday, with a predefined distance to run each day. This week I ran 23 miles, but this morning I ran 14 miles. I have never run that far before and wasn’t sure I could make it but I did.

I am pretty happy with my time. I ran 14 miles in 2:04′ 30″ with an average pace of 8m52s per mile. I finished a half marathon (13.2 miles) in under 2 hours. Next Sunday I will run 16 miles, it will be interesting to see if I can maintain a similar pace.

Holy cow! That’s awesome
Congrats
I just tried to run 1.4 miles on the treadmill @ a 10 minute mile pace. Didn’t work. I’m not one tenth of a Ted.
Good stuff man, way to keep in shape.
Loving the new blog design also.
DUDE!!! TOTALLY AWESOME!! I’m seriously so impressed! I’ve been doing some walking …and feeling proud – but, dang! You’re WAY ahead of me!
GREAT job!!
Sammie said it’s hard to recognize you when you’re not singing crazy songs! Hahaha!
Go Ted. Go Ted. Go. Go. Go Ted!
You rock! Keep going! You can do it!
Ted, you continue to inspire me, not to get out and run of course, but you inspire me none the less.
@BenSpark:
Happy I had an XShot to make the video with : )
Awesome! Keep it up, Ted!
@Ted Murphy:
Yeah, me too – reminded me I want to get one before Sammie and I go to Wash. DC!!!
(Sammie said, incredulously, “Is that camera on a stick?” And I said, “Why, yes it is, honey – and we need to get one before we go!” Once I explained to her how handy it was, she was like, “Oh cool!” And yes, Drew – I pointed out your pic and told her you were the one who told us about it!
