Half Marathon Training #2

Week two is drawing near and end and the training is going well. Long run on Sundays (mine was this past Saturday with the 10 k run in hot weather - see previous post), with short runs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. I joined the Running Room group on Wednesday and Thursday for 3 or 4 km runs and these were completed with ease. Mind you, it helps that the weather is cooler.

I see, once again, that so much of it is psychological. Not only must you force yourself onward and believe that you can do it, you must always be thinking about it all the time - which almost daily running gets you to do. I never wanted to become so obsessive about what I do but I also want to accomplish a larger, challenging task. And so this summer I will be a runner.
