A Few Words with Myself

Distance: 3.5 miles
Start time: 4:35 pm
Run Duration: 35 minutes
Average Pace: 10 minutes/mile
Temperature: 59 degrees
Humidity: 51%
Location: Hermann Park



There are 9 weeks until the Houston Aramco Half-Marathon. I pulled out the training schedule today and entered all the mileage from now until January 17, 2009 on my calendar. I can do this.

Sunday miles increase by 1 each week. Only 5 this week, I already know I can do 6.

From everything I've heard and read, getting up to 10 in training is the biggie, come race day, adrenaline will carry me through to the end. Lots of people have done this before me.

This evening's 3.5 felt good (despite the sore toe) and the weather was beautiful. I know the temperature is supposed to plummet overnight so tomorrow morning's directions to "stretch and strengthen" will be perfect with yoga before work.

I can do this.
