Half Marathon

So I paid my dues and am officially signed up for the Lincoln Half-Marathon. Now all I have to worry about is how in the heck am I going to ever run 13.1 miles. All I can think is crap. What did I get myself into?

I've been sort of training for a couple of months and am confident that I can at least run 6 of the 13.1. That's a pretty decent start, but 6 isn't even halfway to 13.1.

Dale says if I can run 4, which I have done a few times, I can run the whole thing. He says that I'll just get numb after that and will be in a zone. I hope he's right.

I'm hoping as Dale gets further along in his Chinook training, there will be more time for me to run during the week. Right now all I have are weekends since it gets dark so early. I've only been able to run 5 days in January since I was sick last weekend. That really puts a damper on training.

I won't share with you my times for running because it's not very fast and I don't want to embarrass myself, but I will share with you my monthly mile totals. Lets hope these numbers go up during the next 90 days I have until the marathon. :)

December: 18.26 miles
January: 15.42 miles
