Half & Half

So, i've already signed up for another Half Marathon. This one's here in town and appropriately named the "Music City Half". It's being held October 6th at 8 am. Is it a little bit crazy to run two Half Marathons in 2 weeks? Maybe. I guess I'll find out.

The Middle Half

Liv and I ran the inaugural Middle Half Marathon in Murfreesboro this past Saturday. We finished around 2 and a half hours. Although it was a little off our goal time, we crossed the finish line running strong. Way to go Liv! The race organizers did a great job on this one. Everything was well-run and the support was fantastic. I'm looking forward to running this again next year.

final stretch

The HalfMarathon is a week and a day away. Im really excited about running this one. This will be the longest run I've ever run *with* someone. Also, it's Olivia's first Half Marathon and her longest road race to date. She's gonna do awesome, i just know it.

So, today I'm running 3 or 4, and tomorrow Im running 10. Sunday is a rest day. Then it's a small taper Mon-Wed with no running on Thursday or Friday. I'm taking Friday off work, too! Hopefully, I learned my lesson from the last 2 Marathons and will actually take it easy and stay off my feet the day before the race.

running on empty

ran nearly 14 miles this morning. i forgot to eat before I left. totally bonked around mile 10. not fun. I did have a bottle of Spark with me, and think that just made me jittery due to nothing being in my stomach. note to self: can't burn fuel on an empty tank.
