So week 3 of training is complete and it was actually not to bad. I know training/workouts are supposed to get easier as the weeks go by, but I was not sure about this. So here is how the week went.
Tuesday-3 miles
Thursday-4 miles
Friday-3 miles
Sunday-6 miles-11.24 per mile
I was pretty stocked with myself, I ran 6 miles in 1 hour 8 minutes. Just 4 minutes behind Stan's time that morning. Considering my legs are much shorter, not too bad. Once I got past the 1st 1.5 miles, it was pretty easy. And I actually feel pretty good today. Now we will see what tomorrow brings, but I have tomorrow again. I never thought I would say this, but on Friday I told someone that I was running 'only' 3 miles. If you would have told me a couple of months ago that I would have to run 3 miles, I would thought you were crazy. So onto week 4.

Half Marathon-Week 2
So 2 weeks down and somehow I am still alive. So this week got a little gumbled up because we went to look at houses on Tuesday & Friday. And I can't remember all of my times. So bare with me here.
Wednesday-3 miles
Thursday-4 miles
Saturday-5 miles-11.54 per mile
I will admit I had to walk for some of this, that is why the time is a little higher then last week. But hey, I completed it.
Sunday-0 miles
I was supposed to run 3 miles on Sunday, but with all the painting and house hunting it just did not happen. In the whole sceme of things, I don't think that missing 1 3 mile run in the 2nd week is going to hurt me. So this week, I will be running 16 miles total. I will let you know next week if I make it.

Half Marathon-Week 1
Well I am done with the 1st week of training for our half marathon training. It actually was not too bad. But of course the longest that I had to run was 4 miles. So here is the breakdown of my running times.
Tuesday-3 miles-11.10 per mile
Thursday-3miles-11.24 per mile
Friday-3 miles-11.04 per mile
Sunday-4 miles-11.07 per mile
And I have to say, I am only about 20 seconds or so behind Stan per mile. And his legs are way longer than mine. So 1 week done, 9 to go.
