First day of 1/2 marathon training. No, I'm not giving it up. Plan called for 2 easy miles. I thought I was going very slow yet I averaged an 11 min mile! This used to be my fast pace.

1/2 Training Day 29 - 8 miles outdoors. Average pace 13:30...had GPS issues so couldn't get exact pace numbers.

1/2 Training Day 26 - 2 miles in 27:24. Missed yesterday so after considering skipping all together I decided to stay committed and go. Not an easy one because of the heat. Even inside the gym was too hot. But I did it, finished and I'm glad I did. It put a smile on my face and fixed a day that started on a not so positive spell.

1/2 Training Day 25 - 7 miles in 95:43. Today I reflected upon progress. I've been training longer than last summer, I've completed all of the tempo runs so far, I haven't gotten any blood blisters and besides some soreness at times I've been pain free. I realized that running is just a way for me to prove myself that with persistence I can accomplish whatever goals I set. It will take time and I'll make many mistakes but if I keep trying I will make progress and progress equals success. Run Like A Girl, Just Run, Girls Be Like

1/2 Training Day 24 - 2 miles in 27:24 minutes. It felt as if I'd slept in the gym but once again felt great. During that short, easy run I made the decision to stop fooling myself and train for a full marathon. So once I finish this training that will be the goal...to get faster, stronger and go for it.

1/2 Training - Day 8 - Crazy mix: 2.50 miles in 35:16 min, followed by 30 min of a circuit training workout, and finished the other .50 mile in 7:16 afterwards. I guess I made the goal pace....what matters to me is that I finished the 3 miles regardless. Running is like a smothering jealous boyfriend. Once you become involved it doesn't let you do anything else. Still enjoy circuit training but not enough to let it change my running schedule. ;-) Running Schedule, Circuit Training Workouts, Fitness Training
