Committed

I still am not a fan of that word. Nonetheless, I did commit…to the Lewis & Clark Half-Marathon. I couldn’t help it. The course is listed as flat and fast, which is what it was in 2007, when I first ran it. It doesn’t look much different this year.

So thus the training has started and I am trying to take to a minimum once a week tempo run. Running terms confuse me, but this one I got: run xx distance fast. So fast you can’t hold a conversation, but slow enough you can answer one-word questions.

I did my first today. The run was 2 min slower than my Monday morning easy run. Wow. I might be on to something.

If I can finish this half in under 2:03 I will be a happy gal. 2:03 was my first half time.
