New Running Goal

As you all know, almost 1 year ago, Mike and I started training for a 5K. We used Couch to 5K and I couldn't rave more about the program. Then in March, we participated in the GO!St. Louis runs. Mike did the 1/2 marathon and I ran the marathon relay (6 miles). I felt great after my run and was really enthusiastic about running again.

I am proud to announce that today started Week 3 of my 1/2 marathon training. On October 3rd, Mike and I will be running the Lewis and Clark 1/2. We are using Hal Higdon's Novice Half Marathon Plan and I have been tracking my miles and times on Daily Mile. I love Daily Mile because it gives you tons of stats on your distance and pace. I have already run 17.6 miles and I started 2 weeks ago!



To say that I am not nervous about this would be a lie. I can't imagine running 13.1 miles...BUT, I couldn't imagine running 3...or 6. I can't believe I am going to do this. Here goes nothing!

Jason and I are doing the Lewis and Clark too! And I am following the exact same training program. I'm starting week 3 this week. So far so good! I'm definitely nervous too, but also excited to meet the challenge. Good luck!

So exciting, Lauren! I contemplated walking/running the Lewis & Clark 1/2, but I can't throw that in with CPA studying. At least not if I want to retain my sanity. :)

You can do it! You rock :)

Awesome!! You are going to do great, I'm sure. Daily Mile is sweet. I love it. I started the C25K a while ago, but had to hold off on it. I can't wait to get back into it. I love how you ease into running with it.

Lauren, you are going to rock that half-marathon! You've been so successful in running so far, I know you will do great. I admire all the people who are braving the heat and humidity to train for the Lewis and Clark. You are a better woman than I!
