I DID IT

I ran my first Half-Marthon --- with a few walk breaks. It was the Lake Placid Marathon and Half Marathon --- hilly course and very warm temps. I'm not really good with the heat --- and not the best on the hills......I will do more hill-training in the future. I finished running which was totally awesome to me!!

Hubby said I looked really good for just having run 13.1 miles.....and I felt great! I probably could have pushed a bit more but was happy to do it.

Looking at a Full Marathon in the fall --- not sure which one yet. We'll see how my training schedule goes. I'm very psyched.

Days to go

Days to go until the Half Marathon --- can't wait. We have stopped fighting -- at least for now it seems. It looks like the weather will be perfect this weekend for a good run.

We did not make it up to the boat last weekend, and won't get there this weekend either. Last weekend we went to a Yankees game --- spur of the moment gift of tickets from our kids......who got them from a neighbor. It was loads of fun --- took Matty (8 yr old). He got a bat --- it was Bat Day at the game.

I am very Psyched for the run on Sunday and it looks like we will know a few people up there --- so it is very cool. Hubby is volunteering to work the race ---- gets to see me start then reports to the volunteer tent. Should be fun.

One Week

One Week to go until the Half Marathon. I am very excited --- I've had some trouble running this week --- I am hoping it is just allergies --- a lot of wheezing. Hubby and I have been battling quite a bit also -- so could also be stress induced.

It is going to be a hot weekend --- I am planning on running early mornings to beat the heat. Otherwise --- planning on heading up to the Lake this weekend. Gala Friday night and then boat over the weekend. Need to bring my sneakers --- try to get a couple of runs in over the weekend.
