Hello Everyone, I'm finally back to posting. I didn't have much to post about due to the fact, I wasn't running. On Thursday the 3rd of April, I got sick with what I thought was a cold. Now when I get colds its like a 2 day thing. I feel horrible the first day, than I cough up the crap the next. That didn't happen. I laid on the couch all weekend. Finally, on Monday I went to the Doctor. Doc said I had an Upper Respiratory Infection, a Sinus Infection and a touch of bronchitis. So I didn't run until Sunday the 13th.
Today is the 19th of April, and I finished my first Half Marathon. I made the decision to run on Wednesday after I ran 7 miles and felt good the whole day after. So, before my race in the month of April I had run a total of 14 miles. I went into today hoping just to finish and I wasn't even worrying about making my goal of under 2 hours. But I Finished in 1:58:06. So I'm very happy with my performance, but I can tell I haven't run much lately. My legs are KILLING ME!!!!!!!!! and I feel a little short of breath. But I'm doing good.
Unfortunately I realized shortly after I finished that in June. I'm gonna have to turn around and run back to the start, what a bummer!!!!!!

It may be motiveating in the full marathon though to realize if you stop half way through you are in the middle of nowhere- so you might as well continue running!
Glad to hear you are back to good health!!
I'm super impressed that not only you were able to complete the 1/2 marathon, but you were also to complete it in under 2 hours. You deserve a medal!
The good news is that you still have two more months to train until the full marathon. I know you guys will do great!
I am in awe. I have always been a sprinter (400 meters is far enough in my world), so I don't know if I would ever find it in me to do what you are doing.
More power to you!
