It's all about the training.....

So February is over.....and March almost.....and I have definitely fallen off the blog wagon. It has been all about the training for the 1/2 marathon lately and trying to keep my head above water with all my work commitments. Even though I have had so much on my work plate, I have kept up the training. It has been hard though and quite tiring. More tiring than I had felt in the past.  I found that I can run a high mileage weekend: Saturday 5 miles and Sunday 9 miles and go to work on a Monday...but it does take it's toll on my energy level.  Last week the mileage did funky things to my knee and and I had to back off a bit. Maybe Monday's yoga class was a bit too much as well.
January I was lucky enough to run a race with my son/coach. My time was not the best but it was a priceless day with nice weather as you can see in the picture! It was really great as we have never run a race together. We also did a warm up and that was nice being able to run at a decent pace with him.
February and March have flown by so fast.  I have finally signed up for the Long Island half marathon. I really was committed but it did take courage to hit submit! But...I did it. That's it for now...but I will try to keep up with this blog a bit more often!
