[...] as I have yammered about time & time again, this whole half-marathon shebang is more about goal setting & revising my self-definition than anything [...]

I’ve seen quite a few people say if you can run at least 10 miles outside once in practice, you’ll make it through your half. Upright. Slow, but upright. And dear fluffy lord, woman, I can barely make it through 8 miles on the treaddy. That’s my limit. And I MUST have awesome peppy music to even set foot on a treadmill. Everything else must must must be outside, it’s a whole different world.

If I could suggest any plan of attack in the next 2 weeks – do a speed workout sometime this week, at least 10 miles this weekend (outside if possible), and then mostly rest next week. A few short runs, fast early in the week, relaxed later in the week, rest the day before, and just let the race carry you. The week before, stop lifting as much as you can without going batty. If this helps – you just gotta get through the next 2 weeks and you can never run again if you don’t wanna – that got me through the last few weeks of my first half training.

I wish I could go with you and run. Both to have an awesome vacation and to have another shot at a sub-2 hour half. …and to see you in the tutu!

Great post! Love that you know yourself and your body. Um, great abs, too! Whew, I’m working on ‘em. I’ve got a lot more running and training to get there!

This is why I admire you so. You know yourself, you know your body, and you’re not afraid to always do what’s best for you.

I hope you have a blast at Disney!

Thinking of you…

Late to the party again (when am I not?) – but really inspiring and honest as all hell as always. My hat’s is in a continual state of “off” to ya madame. I can’t do treadmills either for longer than a few miles. The real joy I get out of running is being outside feeling like I’m getting somewhere, seeing and hearing my little world from a different perspective, and so forth.

Thanks for your tenacity and your vibrant voice. You make a huge impact, truly.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my best friend two years ago to MS. Not a day goes by where I don’t think of her. In many ways I feel like she is with me and cheering me on. You are going to do great in the Half Marathon. It will be so much fun for the tornado to see her mommy run and to experience Disney.

I’m glad that you were able to tune into what’s going on and scale it back appropriately, good for you Miz and best of luck in the half marathon!
