Since my site is full of spammers...
I'll post here. I've been getting geeked up about trying to train for a half marathon because I am insane. Here is my practice schedule. I'm not actually targeting a specific race, there's not one I want to do in town until october, and that one is iffy because it's a week after our wedding. I don't think race training includes a completely debaucherous couple days in vegas... But I would like to run my own half marathon just to say I did it, even if it just consists of just under 5 of my laps around the neighborhood. I could have a day party at the house where everyone else drinks and hangs out on the lawn and hands me electrolytes and water. That could be kinda hilarious. A really stupid idea, yeah, but it's making me giggle.
I'm also interested to see if it's possible to run a half marathon while still smoking about a pack a week of American Spirit Lights.
Anyhoo, here is the next 3 months of my life, training-wise...
