A Work in Progress

Well.... It has been awhile since I have made a post here... so I figured it was about time! I've been so busy these days that training has been very difficult. However... I did get in 79.85 miles during the month of March! With the Country Music Marathon less than 25 days away I am getting seriously concerned about my ability to run 26.2 miles. YIKES. I knew I needed to get out and do a long training run yesterday, and unfortunately it was raining. However, I had to man up and just get out and do! I went ahead and ran a half marathon as a training run. I ran in in 2 hours and 3 minutes, which I feel pretty good about because I was on a very hilly course and also ran the whole thing in the rain! So I am a little sore today... but surprisingly I am not completely unable to walk! I am going to try to get in another long run (15-18 miles) by the end of this week!
I definitely think I can get the Odgen Half Marathon in under 2 hours! I have to say that an organized half marathon is a lot more fun than a long training run... I was disappointed that no one was there to give me a medal when I finished my 13.1 yesterday :)

Keep Truckin'! Train hard and train safe!

Wow! That's dedication. It's also impressive. I think I'm going to have a hard time keeping up with you at Ogden. You may need to use the same motivational words on me this year as you did on Bryce last year - that seemed to work.

Good to see a post on here! You are so good lane! At easter we decided our team name should be "BLAME LANE" instead of "team blake" You are the one that got us all into this mess! :) JK I'm excited about it... but I must confess I too need to get on the ball.
