Well, I have managed to keep up some semblance of training over the past month. I have forced myself out of bed early on Saturday mornings to get the jogging in before I can think about what I am doing. The good news is that I have increased my endurance...the bad news is that I am trying to follow the run/walk/run strategy and I keep forgetting to walk when I am supposed to walk! At first blush, you may applaud my running efforts, however, I am still a non-runner and an uncoordinated one at that. I should be doing all I can do to avoid injury and fatigue, which will just lead me down the road to giving up and slacking. I have never run a race over 3.5 miles, so if I tire at that point, I am cooked!
Tomorrow is my "long run" day. I hope to get 4 miles under my belt and not care about pacing at this point. I have 6 months until the Half Marathon...I have to be the little engine that could...I think I can, I think I can.
