    Only 2 miles for today...5 for the week... total for the month 38.62..short a little over 10 miles this month, but I'm okay with that. I'll just work harder for February since it's a shorter month anyway!

    CONGRATS on the half!!! that is very exciting, and you kept a great pace too! My goal is to be close to the 2 hour mark -so you about your time. I initially was thinking about doing one in March, but now I am thinking May. CONGRATS!! again, super excited for you!

    I found the hardest thing about going from a 5k to half marathon was learning when and how to eat. The first time I tried to go a long distance I didn't bring anything to eat and started to fade after about an hour of running. Now I drink a gator aid or something at around 4 miles and again at 8. Runner’s world will send info on training if you give them your email. I didn’t really follow it all the way, I just did 3.4 miles 3 times a week at lunch. On the weekends I started increasing miles about 10% each time until I reached 10 miles. Once I reached 10 miles I started alternating one weekend I would run 1 hour the next I would run two hours. The 1 hour runs were about 6 miles and the two hour runs started getting a little over 12. I’ll probably keep this routine up, it works well for me. I will be doing the virtual half marathon on March 17 and two other s this year. Maybe next year I might do a full marathon.

    5.7 miles for Mon/Tues, so 46.7 total - didn't quite make it to 50, but I'm pretty darn impressed with myself for getting so close :drinker: Especially considering I've been battling tendonitis for the past week :grumble:

    I'm sticking with a goal of 50 miles for February, but barring injury, maybe I'll get even farther :tongue:
