The Half Marathon Draws Nearer...

In less than two weeks, it is time for the Silver Strand half marathon.  I did my last long run yesterday - a 12 mile jaunt through Coronado at quite a slow pace.  My stomach has been out of sorts the last couple of days, but hopefully that will clear up soon so I can get back to running fast.  

I previously aspired to run at 8:00-8:15/mile pace.  Hmmm...this weekend's run made me re-think that.  Okay, I'll still aim high but will try not to be too bummed out if I don't make it.  

In other fitness news, I had a great spin class over lunch this morning and have been adopting "cardio lifting" to try to get fitter.  I define "cardio lifting" as doing lighter weight in sets of 12-15 with as little rest as possible in between sets to get a cardio workout and not get too bulky.  I'll keep you updated on how that goes...
