102 Days to go

Last night I spent time viewing the website for the St. Luke's 2012 Half Marathon and to be honest it was a little intimidating. I've gone running in the area before, but my runs were only 1-2 loops around the lake and that was all. The half-marathon involves 2 loops around the lake, plus like 9 more miles through another park and along a river. Sometimes I have to take a step back and think, "13 miles... do I really want to put myself through that?" but then my competitive spirit comes out and tells me to go for it. And so the training continues. In 102 days is my race. Today I focused on speed work - running at a quicker pace than usual - and did better than I expected. Here are today's numbers: Run length: 46 minutes (including the warm up and cool down) Mileage: 4 miles
