Half Marathon Training

Last week I officially started my training for the Seattle Half Marathon.  It’s the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend so I figure I have some time to train.  Last week I ran a 4 mile run, today I ran a 5 mile loop.  I figure if I can add one mile each week I will be running 13.1 miles by the end of September right?  Perfectly logical and probably the best way to train right?  No, I will start running more than once a week, but it’s a start.

Two bad parts about the weekend the Half Marathon is on though.  I will be in Corvallis for my favorite meal of the year, Thanksgiving.  Followed by a Friday football game where the Beavers will beat the ucks in Reser stadium.  That’ll be great, but my diet that day will be far from the norm for a Gameday.  Water and pasta or chicken or whatever I am told is the best food to eat 2 days before I run for afew hours.  I’m guessing beer, hot dogs, and pizza are not on that list.

I was also able to run my 5 miles and then go and do a hip hop class 15 minutes later.  Not to brag, but "I’m not even upset, I’m impressed."
