It's hard to believe, but it's officially time to start training for this year's half-marathon, which takes place the last weekend in April!
Erin and I have been running pretty steadily each week, so I feel that I'm ahead of where I was last year in terms of fitness. We ran 7.5 miles today in 38-degree weather, and it went OK - just over an 11-minute mile pace. I really have to step up my running during the week, though. Right now I only do Sundays, which has to change! I honestly don't know how I'm going to find the energy for those 5 a.m. mid-week runs, but it has to be done. We're starting with one early-morning weekday run this week, and I'll do the treadmill one day during my lunch break at work.
Things are a little more difficult since I'm working away from home this year, but I'm determined to make it work.
