Breathing, running, faster, slower, run/walk, heart rate. Runners have so much to think about, but we really only do one thing. Put one foot in front of the other to cover a specified number of miles each week. This week, I will run the half marathon distance for my long run.Then I will begin an advanced training plan for the half marathon distance in the fall/ Of course, if it gets too taxing, I can always go back to what I have been doing.

The primary difference between my current plan and the new plan is that I will be adding an additional day of speed work. It looks good on paper and I'm feeling good enough to believe that this will work. So, beginning Monday, it's off to the races!!
Then I will be looking toward the Warner Robins Marathon in January2014. Of coursem that means I'll begin ramping up the distance in September. If that goes well, I will consider a marathon in the spring of 2014, If not, Ill simply cut back and focus my attention on building speed for the Cheerios Challenge in April 2014.
Looking forward to the running challenges ahead and really trying to think things through. I think the key is to listen to your body and have a good plan that you are prepared to adapt.
You are a very fun and wise person. The planning, organizing and actual carrying thru with your goals is a good job well done. You are encouraging to me. Amazing to me at what you do.
