Half Marathon Training: Week 5

Monday:1.5 miles
Tuesday: See previous post
Wednesday: 4 miles
Saturday: 8 miles

I'm in Knoxville with my grandparents, Tammy Hall (who works down the hall from me in the Dean's office), and her daughter Samantha. Tammy and Samantha have never been to a Tennessee game. It's always so exciting to bring Vol fans to a game when they've never been. I'm not even a sports fan, but being in Knoxville during a game weekend and going to Neyland Stadium is an unforgettable experience that I look forward to every fall. Go Big Orange!

Half Marathon Training: Week 4

Monday: Sick
Tuesday: Sick
Wednesday: 3 miles
Thursday: 2nd accounting exam
Friday: Our brother-in-law Jon came home from Afghanistan! Thank you, God, for his safe return!
Sunday: 7 miles at an average pace of 9'45"

This week has been the worst so far just because I was only able to run twice. One of those times, I only ran 2 miles and walked the last mile. Even still, my long run was amazing today. The weather was beautiful, I felt great, and I averaged a fast(er) pace. At this rate, I'll be able to beat my first half marathon time with no problem. I feel motivated to push even harder and to run even faster. I won't let this one week slow me down. As of tomorrow, I'm getting back on the schedule. Four weeks down, eight to go!
