I'm training for my second Half Marathon right now. It's going pretty well. I ran 6 miles yesterday in the rain on a very boring (but flat!) route without much effort. My schedule called for an 8mile run, but weather and other circumstances gave me a shot a 6 miles and I'm not complaining.
My event schedule is looking like this:
September 12 - 26.2 mile charity walk
September 19 - 5K road race ("rematch" with my sister and my nephew's debut where he will likely leave us in the dust)
September 25 - 1+ Mile walk - Walk From Obesity
October 10 - 13.1 mile road race (Half Marathon) with my "other" sister.
It's really good to have the weather turn cooler and have events to look forward to! I am definitely feeling so much more motivated than I was a month ago. I confess to be running a bit less due to falling into a relationship, but i'm sure we will eventually fall into a rhythm with our schedules. He's got a few races (bike) coming up, so he wants to make sure to get his workouts in too. In fact, he's just started playing indoor soccer after several years out of the game, and it was interesting to see how the sprinting took the life out of him. Looks like I might do my speed work when I'm with him, since we both can benefit! 100 meter races against my boyfriend? Whole new way to get hot and bothered, I suppose! :)
