3 days until the main event

Wow. The half marathon is in 3 days. Tomorrow we fly out to San Diego, and then bright and early Sunday morning we run through the city. I'm not as prepared as I would like to be, or as I was maybe 6 weeks ago. There have been ups and downs throughout the training. The longest I have run has been 8 miles, and that was during my peak.

Wish me luck. I will post thoughts and pictures when we return to NYC.

2 weeks and counting

Well the San Diego half marathon is in 2 weeks, and WOW. I did a nice 5 mile run in Prospect Park this morning, with no calf pain. I am feeling good about this, and just ready to do it! I have run 100 miles since the year started, which is 100 times more than I've run in my entire life up to this point. Being 24 has been a very big year for me. Training for a half marathon, and now leasee of my very own NYC studio apartment. Wish me luck in my last 2 weeks.

The Home Stretch

A little less than 4 weeks until my marathon. I have avoided running the last week to give my calves a rest. I just have to walk a bit more between runs to make sure they don't get super tight. I have reached my fundraising goal, which is amazing! And now its just all about May 31st. Nothing to stand in my way, except for myself. Wish me luck as I get back in to long runs this weekend.
