While I should be running 3-4 times a week, I've only been running twice a week. It's not the end of the world, but I definitely feel like I should be running a lot more.
So far, I've been really lucky and haven't had any injuries (KNOCK ON WOOD!) compared to last year, and maybe that's because I'm not training as hard. Last year, I went from a total couch potato to running a half marathon in just a few months and I think that taking it easier this year is to my advantage. Plus I completely and honestly believe that I will finish this half-marathon and not feel like I died a million times over those 13.1 miles. I mean, I'll be in Berlin, so how bad could it really be?!
Also, last week I broke my record for fastest mile at 8'29 minutes, which is kind of amazing to me! I didn't even realize I was running that was, especially considering I was running on the ice trail on the river. That run was an average of 9'57 minute/mile, while last year I was averaging about 13'30 minute/miles. That's an improvement of almost 4 minutes! It may not seem like much, but 4 minutes is HUGE!
So far, I ran 64.87 miles (104.39 km) and I can't wait to beat more records! Only 45 days till Berlin!
