The half marathon is exactly one month away. 4 weeks. 31 days. And instead of fear, dread, terror, and hysteria – I’m actually feeling rather excited!
Here are this week’s stats, as best as I can remember them.
Saturday: 8 mile run, 10:25 pace
Sunday: 3 mile easy run, 10:30 pace
Monday: 3 mile run, 9:59 pace. I was supposed to do push ups, too, but I didn’t. Woops-y-daisy.
Tuesday: (4) x 1/2 mile sprints at 8:57 pace.
Wednesday: 3 mile run, 9:25 pace. 50 push ups.
Thursday: 3 mile run at 11:40 pace, then another 3 mile run at 9:26 pace. The first one was more fun, if you were wondering.
Today is my day off and I could not be more excited about having a day to rest my little leggies and eat ice cream! Tomorrow is the big 10 miler. I’m kind of nervous but the weather has been so lovely lately {SEVENTY DEGREES, people! I am officially in Heaven!} I think I’ll be a-ok.
My running adventures next week will {hopefully} include a trip to the athletic shoe shop for new sneaks. I will be sure to bring my camera along so you can share in the excitement!
Happy Friday, my lovelies!

That’s so funny – I’m doing my second triathlon on the same day!
Follow your blog – LOVE IT!
That’s a VERY aggressive training schedule, and jumping from 8 to 10 miles with just 1 rest day after running for 5 days on is a lot. As a runner who LOVES 1/2 marathons, just a warning to listen to your body, and if you need another rest day – take it. Take tomorrow as rest too and push the 10 to Sunday (altho I would do a 9 miler, and then a 10 miler next week). I typically follow Runners World training programs, and im sure the one you are on is awesome – just listen to your body. 🙂
You are rocking it – keep it up and keep bloggin about it!.
Go Kristin go! I am so proud of you and cheering you on every day!!
