I finally wrote my half marathon training schedule down on the calendar..it looks like I am behind by a few weeks...guess I should have wrote it down sooner. This week my long run should be 7 miles. Sure..no problem! I had issues with three miles yesterday. So 7 miles should be super easy! lol
I have not really ran regularly since Marine Corps Full. Note to self: it is not smart to take so much time off from running. I am hoping that my muscles and lungs remember what it is like to run again. I ran for the last three days. Sunday I took my running shoes outside. It was a beautiful day for running in the hood. I was able to run in capris and a short sleeved shirt. Considering last week I was shivering under a blanket with below 0 temps. Today it was in the 50's. How could I not run in the 50's in January?? I was running and breathing heavy. Yeah definitely have to work on my lungs. Hopefully when I get home it will not yet be dark and I can run a few laps around the block. I love that we are gaining daylight everyday. I do not do well with the early darkness.

Just remember..if the schedule says you can do 7 miles then you definitely can.
Scott I will do the 7...it just might not be pretty lol
Taking time off running always seems like such a good idea....until you go back to it and realize just how hard it is to build back that endurance. I am experiencing the same thing right now in all 3 sports. UGH!
You can do 7 miles though, just take it easy and run/walk it if it helps get you through!
Good luck with the 7 miles!! You can totally do it!! :)
