Well my first week of training for the half marathon is over. It was an easy week because it's all distances that I've run before. Monday I ran three miles, Tuesday I ran two miles, Wednesday I ran three miles again and Saturday was my long run of four miles. I was supposed to cross train on Friday, but it was Christmas and I'm technically not doing the twelve week program yet so I let myself slide. Saturday we got up bright and early though to head to the gym. I had my mind set on four miles and I knew I could do it. The most I have run at a time is five miles, so it will be after that distance that I start to wonder if I can do it. I am really curious to know what it will be like, but I have a few more weeks of these shorter long runs to go before I do my first six mile run.
Richard bought me a pedometer for Christmas and I'm very excited about it. This way I will be able to track the distance that I run outside instead of having to drive and map out the miles in the car. I can just set out and go where ever my legs take me and I will have my trusty pedometer to tell me how many miles I've traveled. I can't wait to use it!
So there you have it; Week One is in the books and tomorrow begins Week Two. My schedule is exactly the same so there will be no surprises.
