one step back = two steps forward.

To train for the half marathon I decided to follow Hal Higdon's Plan.
It's not my favorite, but I only had 6 weeks. I needed something that I could jump into quickly and juggle with all my other obligations. I've been running consistently for the last 6 months, but only averaging 6-9 miles/week. Lately I've stepped it up to 4 workouts a week averaging 20 miles/week, quite a jump!

 

Here are a few of my favorites:

* Days of drizzle and mist
* Eating Ben&Jerry's FroYo free of guilt :)
* Watching the leaves float to the ground
* Tir na nog running club and new running buddies
* Jelly Belly sport beans, mmmm
* Knowing that I CAN go one more mile

good too hear from you. :) i'm putting you on my favorites on my blog, so i hope you will post poetry along with your other thoughts.

i don't have internet at my place, so i might not be writing as much as i would like. however, i'm trying to stay productive and work on other things....painting (http://www.theramblersbook.blogspot.com)and music (www.myspace.com/mecansodeserhombre).

i bought a new moleskin, but i think my writings in there are going to be more self-analytical and a tracking of my life and goals. we'll see.

hope all is well.

I need to start eating Ben&Jerry's FroYo. I have an addiction to ice cream.
