Half Marathon Training - Week 1

I completed the first week of half marathon training.  It was tough but in the end it was enjoyable and I managed to lose 2.4 of the 13 pounds I had gained back toward the end of 2009.  The hardest part was the long run on Saturday but I think that was because I need to move the Friday run to the morning before I go to work.  Running Friday night and then trying to go for the long run on Saturday morning just does not work… not enough recovery time.  Week 2 starts tonight.  I’ll see if I can keep up the 9:00ish pace I have been running.
