It seems like it's taken me forever to get here. I started working out in January. It was really hard to get myself motivated. I don't have a running partner, where I live, but I made it over the hump, and I'm starting to feel like my old self again. I was trying to add a mile every two weeks, but in July I hurt my back and lost a month of training. So, now I'm just adding a mile a week. I hope to keep a long run of about 10 miles through the winter, and maybe do a 5k a month, until spring, when the mountain runs start again. I really like the seemingly impossible challenges of the trail. For me the accomplishment is in just finishing alive, not finishing fast. LOL Thanks for writing.

I, too, am training for a half marathon. It is October 19th. I ran 6.5 miles today, my longest to date. I am increasing a mile every week. Are you on a similar training schedule? I keep thinking at each increase that it took all I have and Im not sure where the next mile will come from, but thus far, its been there! You are certainly well on your way! Great job and best of luck! Congrats!! I, too, am training for a half marathon. It is October 19th. I ran 6.5 miles today, my longest to date. I am increasing a mile every week.
