And now we see if it all paid off!! Back in say March, maybe February even, I started seriously training for this half marathon that I'd be running in the summer. It seemed so far away.
My days and weeks of training went like this:
Week 1: Monday: run 3 miles
Tuesday: run 3 miles
Wednesday: rest
Thursday: run 3 miles
Friday: rest
Saturday: run 5 miles
Sunday: rest
Week 2: Monday: run 3 miles
Tuesday: run 4 miles
Wednesday: rest
thursday: run 3 miles
Friday: rest
Saturday: run 6 miles
Week 3: Monday: run 3 miles
tuesday: run 4 miles
Wednesday: rest
Thursday: run 4 miles
Friday: rest
Saturday: run 7 miles
And this continued until three weeks ago when it looked like this:
Monday: run 4 miles
Tuesday: run 5 miles
Wednesday: rest
Thursday: run 6 miles
Friday: rest
Saturday: run 12 miles
I did... and it was great... then the two weeks in between that 12 mile run and now, I've done two 5K races and ran about 12 miles in addition (in sets of 3 miles at a time) but that's it!!
I'm so nervous!!
Tomorrow all of that training comes to a head. I will run 13.1 miles starting at 6:13am!
Yes the race actually starts that early!
We are leaving here at 4:45am!!
Hopefully I'll have many pictures to post!!
Wish me luck!
