Half Mara FTW

Sunday is the day of the Reading Half Marathon.  Since the beginning of the year we have been following a schedule to get us ready for this event.  It's been very challenging sometimes (snow and mud) and incredible in other ways (he has lost over half a stone just from the running).  Our speed, has in the past been real slow.  A 10 min/mile would have been a real good day, with slower being a regular occurrence.  This week we even knocked a few 8:30 min/miles!  I managed a 7:15min/mile, but it was very downhill, ha!

Since we're running together we won't be playing tunes during the race, but many have got me through some reluctant runs over the last few months.  It's a selection that is fast paced and generally cheery.  All over the genres, they're not important, if a cheesy track gets you up that hill, you'll take it.  Added some from friends and look forward to taking them all out on runs after the race.  Yes, even after all my whining, am actually super keen to remain running at this faster pace and these longer distances.  Who would have thought.
