Normally, I post after a run, but I just wasn't feeling it yesterday. I was terrible friend this weekend and totally bailed on my friend. Not really my doing, I actually had planned to run with her Saturday, but I had to get a new furniture set for my living room and the store wasn't going to hold it for long. I had to get my parents' SUV and despite my best efforts to explain that I needed to get to my house by 11am, it just wasn't being comprehended.
So, how much exercise did I do? Not a whole heck of a lot. On Sunday I went for a short run and realized my heart just wasn't in it. I ran for about 30 minutes straight and then headed home. I also realized that I was supposed to finish the couch to 10k program this week and then start half marathon training next week. But, since I am already running the same mileage throughout the week, that I might as well just jump right in. So here is my program:
Novice 2 Half Marathon Training Guide
Why I personally chose Novice 2? Well, I have already completed one half marathon and did okay. I have been running for over a year and I am in decent cardiovascular shape. I want something a little bit more challenging, but not overwhelming.
Why Hal Higdon? I actually used him because of a recommendation of my friend, Carly, she used his program and had a lot of success when she trained for a half marathon. His 5k program was also the first training program I ever used. It prepared me quite well and I have the same expectation for the upcoming dueling halves.
So there it is, training program picked out. Running 3 miles tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday. Can't wait!
Happy running :-)
