    Time to build more strength in my runner’s legs

    I feel good about this week. I took it a little easy but still got moving. Not much to report otherwise! My week:   • Saturday • 13.14 miles, 2:38:08 (12:05 pace) My race! Read about it, and see a gazillion pictures, here. And just because, here’s a few more from my phone. • Sunday ...

    I keep telling myself “you’re a half marathoner!” I did it.

    T–minus 6 days!

    This Saturday I will run my first half marathon. It’s going to be painfully slow, even for me. I already know that.
