Hi Everyone!

My half marathon is 2 weeks and 2 days away! It is coming up fast!
This was my mileage from my first week of training: My First Half Marathon Training. 

I have continued training. All of my workouts are below.

Remember when running it is important to have a diet that supports your increased activity level. Carbohydrates are fuel for running. Carbs come in many forms: fruits, veggies, wheat, grains, etc. Be sure you are getting enough! Protein is also imperative for sustaining your endurance, and preventing muscle breakdown. Longer runs require more than just a strong cardiovascular system, it takes muscular strength and endurance. Food=Fuel. Make good choices!

I will also be posting about shoes. I had to switch mine, because the first pair I got was to large. My feet were sliding, I got blisters, and soreness in my right arch. Remember to pay attention to your body’s signals. I returned my shoes (good running stores typically have a 30 day return policy), and haven’t had any issues since upgrading to the proper size.
