Our half marathon ("The Other Half - Moab Half Marathon") is exactly a month away, and we keep chugging along. This week, the long training run was 8 miles, which felt long but manageable. We'll bump up the long runs for one mile every week until we're ready for the entire 13.1. So far the knees have been cooperating (knock on wood!) and the legs feel solid. The brutal summer heat is finally fading, and running in the morning in 60-degree weather feels amazing.
I've been following the training schedule in the Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer, which got me through my first two half marathons. The book works for me because it's geared towards people who aren't naturally talented runners and aren't shooting for a particular time. Exactly. I'm not going to break any land speed records here, but it's nice to feel solid and progressively stronger.
Wish me luck!
