And that pretty much brings you up today. I'm still down the lbs lost from Simon. I have been training since the end of June for the Columbus 1/2 marathon on Oct 16th. I ran it last year and hate to admit how BAD I did. 2:41:43. Ug. I was so strong the first 7 or so miles then I FELL APART! And that is putting it mildly. I could not get back into the groove. My training has been amazing this summer. I had been keeping to my schedule until the middle of Aug. Since then my training has been slightly spotty due to being out of town and weather. My last long run was on Sept 10th for 10 miles and it was an amazing run. Avg pace of 10:43. Then Vegas, then got back with a head cold, then had family in town which brings us to this weekend. My plan is to get in 12. I really think i can do it...if my shoes quit hurting my feet. Of course the fact that its going to be all of 50 degrees tomorrow doesn't excite me.
I have much more to get to typing but this is already a long one so lets just wrap it up!
3 things I am looking forward to
3) The OSU game tomorrow. Big group of the girls who make me happiest. And the Danger Bros of course!
2)1/2 marathon. I am super excited and hope I can kill my goal 2:28 or bust! Then if all goes well the Flying Pig half with be mine!
1)The flying feather again with Cable Guy :] I know running isn't his thing so it makes me super happy when he agrees to do it with me. He says I cant beat him this year though....
