Half Marathon Training: Week 9

Tuesday: 1.5 miles
Wednesday: 2.25 miles
Friday: 3.5 miles

I'm desperately trying to get back to where I was before I had to take off from my knee hurting. Not sure if that will happen, but I have got to keep trying. The half marathon is in 18 days! Today is the last day of fundraising for St. Jude Heroes. I raised $390! Thanks to all my friends, family and co-workers who donated to this worthy cause! 

Half Marathon Training: Week 6, 7, and 8

Week 6

I skipped week 6. I was feeling quite sick that week. Nothing serious. Just sinus congestion and general fatigue.

Week 7

Monday: 5 miles
Saturday: 3 miles

I was excited to get back to training during week 7 until I ran 5 miles on Monday and injured my knee. Again, nothing too serious, but James said I needed to let my knee rest for a few days. I ran 3 miles on Saturday and my knee was still in pain. James said I should take another week off from running.

Week 8

This is the week I took off from running to hopefully let my knee heal. I will try to run tonight and see what happens. The half marathon is in 25 days. I'm nervous that I've lost everything I've worked for up until 2 weeks ago and that I won't have time to gain it back in time for the race.
