Alright, so I am 4 weeks out from my first half marathon. My last 2 long runs have been 10 miles and my long run tomorrow will be 11. I have trained up to this point in a 1.5 pound deficit.

Anyone doing a half marathon soon?
I'm running my first half marathon on May 7th after losing 67 pounds. I am up to 10 mile long runs right now. To be honest, I am really slow, averaging 13-14 minutes per mile on my long runs.

Doing everything right, not losing.
