Oh yeah, so my wonderfully, generously loving sister who claims she is in birthday present debt to me for the past two years, signed me up for my race. So I'm official now, October 25th is the day! (Thanks again Amy!)
Holy Cow, so I went running with my friend who also has been training for the half marathon coming up. It's awesome because she is a real runner who actually knows how to train for things, so whenever I go out with her, she times our laps and pushes us to do tempo runs (yeah, I feel cool because I'm learning the lingo). Anyway, this morning we did five miles in 38 minutes!! And the middle three miles we averaged 7:25 minute miles! I never thought I was capable of that! I barely made it though, heaving and dragging at the very end. Wednesday we're supposed to do hill repeats since we discovered that mile 12 of the race course is a serious hill. Great...there goes my under-two-hours goal.
This has been really fun, having something to shoot and train for. It will be weird to go back to running just for exercise.
