Did my longest run since November's half today . . .10 miles. Goal time - 2:05. Actual time - 2:02:45. :)

No, I haven't abandoned this blog! Just not much to report in this time between major events. But I am officially registered for Country Music Half on 4/28/12!

They had a thing where you could print out your official time! Mine was 2:51:50. :)

OH MY I AM ACTUALLY RUNNING 13.1 MILES TOMORROW

In case you need reminding, my goal is to finish in 3:08. Feeling pretty decent about that. Come back tomorrow afternoon to find out whether or not I succeeded!

Testing out posting via text message from my (non-smart) phone. I plan to let everyone know my time ASAP after the half on Saturday! How does it look?

Nostalgia

Remember that time that I ran in the Germantown 5K? Want to see what it looked like? Here are the long-awaited photos!






In other news, I completed my scheduled 12 miles yesterday. Guess what? It's hard to run 12 miles. It went okay, not as well as I had hoped, but only 3 minutes over my goal time. 16 days until the half!

Miss Lynn vs. The Weather

I'm scheduled to do my last long run (12 mi.) before the Nashville Half Marathon this coming Wednesday. Unfortunately, this is the current weather forecast for Wednesday:


Now, I'm not scared of getting a little wet--but thunderstorms are another matter. Which leads me to the classic training dilemma: Do I risk the 30% chance and stick with my training plan, which calls for 4 miles tomorrow and 12 on Wednesday? Or do I switch the days, knowing that the weather will be better tomorrow, but only two rest days after my last seven decreases the chances of my reaching my goal (which is to finish the 12 in 2:45).

I can see the pros and cons of both choices. What would you do if it were you?
