    Running my first half in Baltimore this October

    I'm running it for the second time this year. Word of advice: train for hills. I didn't last year so the course kicked my butt.

    I'm doing Rock N Roll St Louis in October. I joined a training group to help. It's not my first, but it'll be the first one that I'm actually taking seriously enough to "professionally" train, vs/ just log my own miles as I go.

    I'm pretty stoked.

    Gotta ask...if you're not looking forward to training then why do it? There are lots of other ways to run distance that don't require training for a full marathon.

    I'm in week 3 of official marathon training. I haven't missed a workout yet and am feeling great about it. I did my first 20 mile run last week - and did it only 20 seconds off race pace. I decided to change my training already and increase my anticipated race pace since I have 15 weeks left to increase my speed an goal time.

    I'm training for my first 1/2 September 2nd. It's been so freaking hot here, and I am having difficulty finding the motivation to train. Ugh, wish I could get over it. Just gotta get out and DO IT!

    I just started training for a half that I plan to run on October 28th. I think 16 weeks should be plenty of time to get ready.
