Half Marathon Training: Week 1
The St. Jude Half Marathon is only 75 days away!
This past Saturday, I finished week one of my 12 week half marathon training.
Here's a recap of last week:
Monday - 3 miles
Tuesday - 1.25 miles
Wednesday - 3 miles
Thursday - 1st accounting exam of the semester (Oh wait, does that even count?)
Friday - 3 miles
Saturday - 5 miles
Although I was extremely unmotivated to run over the summer, I managed to keep it up somewhat especially thanks to my new running partner Kim (aka Coach). Kim has been an excellent accountability partner. There have been several times that I only ran because she asked me to run with her (aka didn't give me a choice-haha). Otherwise, I would have just put it off. That's all going to change. Last week, I followed my training schedule to the letter.
As you may remember, I ran in my first half marathon in April with my best friend Becca. Due to unexpected technical difficulty, our time was 2 hours and 55 minutes. I am bound and determined to not only beat this time but exceed my expectations. I won't be able to achieve that without working harder and training better than I did in the spring.
Let's do this...
