I've been off and on sick the past couple weeks. I have manages a 9 and 6 mile run but the rest have been about 3-4 before I can't breathe. Finally starting to feel better and hoping to get a long run in this week.0

Awesome runs! I haven't reported in awhile so I will share:
2 weeks ago, we did 12 miles and it was awesome. Felt pretty good (as good as you could feel for 12 miles anyway).
The next week was hard for me bc I organized an obstacle 5K and it was Saturday, March 16 so I couldn't get my long run in with my group so I tried a 13 mile run on my own during the week. It was horrible. I hit a wall at 9 miles and really struggled. I ended up doing 11.75 but did walking/running intervals for the last mile or so and it was an easier route than the 12 mile run. BUT 1) I was alone, 2) on our 12 mile run, our group leader planted GU and water at the turnaround and I didn't for this run, and 3) my pace was all over the place and I was going MUCH faster than I had wanted. Lessons learned: 1) Plant water or GU (or buy a pack) and 2) Focus more on my pace since I can control having to run on my own.
Anyway, we did 8 this weekend since we are tapering and my 1/2 is in less than 2 weeks. I am thinking I can do all 13.1 but will have to make some adjustments0 -
Yesterday was gym day, so I got to lift some heavy things. Today was 4.5 m that felt awesome!0

Did 8 today for my last long run before my 1/2. Our group did not run slow though--we were very bad the last 2 weeks about that. Anxious to see how we do next week!0 -
So my runs this week have been 4.5, 3, and 5. Yesterday was rest, today is cross, and tomorrow is 7.0

Hello! New to group and planning to run my first half this fall! Hoping to get a bunch of 5Ks and 10Ks in before that! Today's run was 5.79 miles. I did 5.7 on Sunday, 4.6 on Friday and 3.5 on Wednesday last week. Hoping to slowly build to some longer distances. 5 has been my max in years past.0

4 weeks out!!! Excited, nervous as usual but also ready to be done with training. Not sure if it was the longer winter, rehabing my leg, new work schedule or what but training for this 1/2 is not as enjoyable as my first. Seemed more stressful and I am ready to get back to running for fun and peace of mind. Have 2 races coming up before the 1/2; 5K and 10 miler. LR left are 6, 12, 10 and 6!!!0
