    7/11: 0.5 miles
    7/12: 5 miles
    7/14: 4.16 miles (tried out Runkeeper)

    exercise.png

    I love the free training plans on Runkeeper! Currently using sub 2:30 half marathon.

    I've been playing around with the different running trackers, but I think Runkeeper is my favorite, although I wish the pace didn't jump all over the place. At least for me, the overall distance and pace seems pretty good, but if I try to check pace at any given time it can be wacky, which I suspect is a function of the GPS. The free training plans are a great feature--I've been looking at them and am trying one starting Sunday.

    Definitely listen to your body...no fainting!!! And I also run slower when it's more humid...I think that's fairly common!! You are doing great! And are totally going to make your goal and then some! Good work!!!
