I’m training for a 1/2 marathon this fall.  I know… you know… you’ve heard me talk about it.  There is a strategy there - I figure the more people I tell, and the more people who know, the more likely I am to keep training even when the training gets tough.  And the training got tough this morning.  According to my training schedule, by now my long runs are supposed to be topping out at 8 miles once a week.  This morning I ran for an hour and 20 minutes and when I clocked it later today it was just shy of 6 miles.  I wasn’t expecting it to be 8 but I really hoped for somewhere between 6 and 7!  Depressing….

Just in case you want to know, the race is September 23, 2007.  It starts in Menasha and ends in Riverside park in Neenah.  I’ll be the one limping across the finish line.
