Yes, I'm Still Here!

It's been several days since I've posted, but not to worry, the running goes on! My last post was September 30th so I'll catch you up on my running since then. As you recall, I've decided just to do a half marathon this year (unless I get the itch and do one later in the year!) due to lack of training time. So, officially, my half marathon schedule is 12 weeks long, starting on October 18th. In reality, I didn't want to give up the momentum I had gained by starting to train for the full marathon, so I am running a bit ahead of my half schedule for now.

Here are my scheduled runs and actual runs to-date for October:

10/1: scheduled for 5, did 5
10/2: scheduled for 5, did 5
10/4: scheduled for 6, actually did this 6 on 10/5 (that real life thing again!)
10/6: scheduled for 5, did 5
10/8: scheduled for 6, did 4 (yes, it's still humid in Mobile in October - this is getting old!)
10/9: scheduled for 5, did zero
10/11: scheduled for 8, did 8

So, pretty much on track. My long run this Sunday is 8 again (supposed to cool off this weekend - yea!), then the following Sunday goes up to 10. So I think if I'm doing 10 at the end of October and my half marathon in January 10th, I'm in pretty good shape.

So how about some songs? Here is a new one I just loaded to my Mp3 and is a great running song: Hot N Cold by Katy Perry. I feel like I owe you a couple more, so load these up while you're at it: That's What I Like About You by The Kinks; God, Love and Rock and Roll by Teegarden & Van Winkle. Trust me on that last one....

Ciao for now....
