Weekend workouts/training/etc
Hi all! Taper week, gearing up for my next Half and JUST registered for my First Time Marathoners training program! So keeping my fingers crossed for March 27th and being able to register for Marine Corps Marathon in October. Hmmmm.... if they open registration online at midnight, that means I'm setting my alarm clock - they sold out in less than 3 hours last year!!
Saturday run (Team Challenge) - 4 miles with one of my mentees, and I made her run the WHOLE TIME!!
Sunday run (Montgomery County Road Runners half training) - 8.8 miles scheduled on a trail we've never done... will report back to how it goes.
Expo on Friday where I'm picking up my bib for the Rock & Roll USA and will be volunteering to market for Team Challenge at their booth. Ugh, but who decided that a 7a start time was a good idea?!?!? Excited for the Half and hoping for a PR!

Hi All,
Did 4 miles today, scheduled to do 8 miles tomorrow as part of final week of training for my first half, next Sunday 3/17.
Today I felt really great, and am really happy I opted to skip running this past Thursday, Both mentally and physically I was struggling.
Nfarris, good luck w/ the training for the full marathon, very impressive!
