Ok, so yesterday marked the start of our "official" 1/2 marathon training. We are on the calendar using the Smart Coach from the Runner's World website. Up to this point we have been getting comfortable running on a regular basis and becoming familiar with 5 milers as our long runs. Yesterday was our first long run of 6 miles. The run was challenging and frustrating (bathroom break at mile 3 really messed with my pace/flow), but nevertheless, worth it. If the accomplishment of 6 made me feel so good inside, how will the accomplishment of 13.1 feel? Dare I say I'm looking forward to knowing that, despite the pain to get there! Well, here's to the training plan because the next run is a 2 miler on Wed. 2 miles? No problem, this will be over quick.
P.S. After sitting down in a class last night for over an hour, I have to admit it was a little hard to get up out of my chair. A little tight/sore!

Not sure what the comment means above. Seems strange and irrelevent.
Wish all of you so much luck training for your HM! Your bodies will adapt and you'll be amazed at what you can do.
The soreness dissipates and you'll increase your awesome running capability.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks Tom for the encouragement- really means a lot coming from a veteran runner!!
