The 2011 Lead Strong Half-Marathon (Update)

     7 miles.....demolished! It's only a few weeks before my half-marathon on April 30th so my practice runs are getting longer and longer. This week, I completed 7 miles without stopping! The weather wasn't ideal, high 30's, overcast, and light rain at times, but that wasn't going to hold me back. I was joined this week by two friends and also half-marathon participants. All those weeks of running alone were great. It was a perfect time to clear my head and focus on the important things in life but having others to share the experience of distance running with was a welcome change. 

     I've faltered a little the past week when it comes to my training. I only had the chance to run 2 out of the 4 days but luckily my endurance hasn't suffered. The training schedule is demanding more of my time with these longer runs but I'll just have to make the time! No excuses! It is always possible to find at least 1 hour out of the day to be active or complete a run.

Me, John, and Khal post-run

Take care of yourself and each other.
