My official half marathon training progam kcked off last night. I now have 7 weeks to get ready for the Alpharetta 1/2 Marathon. My training program from Runners World said I need to do one long run per week. Sundays are going to be my long run days. Last night I put in an 8 mile run. That is 2 miles farther than I have ever run. I actually felt pretty good for the whole run. My time for 8 miles was 1 hour and 14 minutes. After 3 miles I started feeling a little sluggish but the farther I went the better I seemed to feel. I told myself just get to 6 miles and then walk a little. I felt pretty strong at 6 so I went to 7 and once I got to 7 I knew I could make 8.
After that run I feel like I will be ready to go the distance by March 2nd.
I spoke to Hood to Coast people and they should have our team roster loaded on the website by early this week. Not sure when they will give us a starting time. I will just have to keep checking the website.
