Training For the New Year

Last Sunday I decided to challenge myself and signed up for my first 1/2 marathon at the end of March next year. It's called the "Love Run" and it starts at the Art Museum in Philly. I'm excited! The longest run I did was a 15K which is a little over 9 miles. It was tough cause it was half trail/half road on some crazy ass hills. But I made it through in about an hour and 40 minutes. And that was about 2 years ago. So I have to get some training in!

Here's my last couple workouts:

Saturday: Nice cold run at Valley Forge park. Ran a little over 5 miles in 43:45. 

Monday: Got 4.3 miles in before the nor'easter blew through the area. Actually wasn't bad at all.

Tuesday: Gym day. I haven't went to the gym in over 2 months.
