A little bite in the air this morning. Bring on the cooler temps! 4 easy miles

5.5 mile easy fartlek run, very happy to be out running again. The forced time off the roads wasn't fun, Jing will tell you I was grumpy when I couldn't run.

As far as my half marathon goes in October, I'm not nearly as prepared as I'd like to be due to the sporadic training. My original goal was 1:14-1:15. Now I'm planning to go out at 6 minute pace and just try to hang on the whole time. I'd be thrilled with a 1:18 half marathon on my first try. Should be fun.

Sounds like you are having similar thoughts about your half as I am my full. I'll tell you the same thing have been telling myself. You're running. You're having a good time. Now just go out and enjoy it.

Its your first half - there's no major expectations on you, other than those self-imposed. So you do what you can - don't try to play catch-up w/ the training - get to the line healthy and run the best you can on that day. And then you have a benchmark to go forward from.
