Pretty impressive layout, very cohesive.... totally unlike mine. eatbikedrinkrun.blogspot or .com My site pales in comparison to yours but i'm working steadily to improve it and amuse my readers. Anyhow, i'm following you now, your site looks great and I'd appreciate any tips..

Otherwise if becomes a 2015 goal to qualify at Houston! <br /><br />And speed work messes with my legs sometimes too.

There just aren't many trails near me so I wouldn't even know where to start. I've got a half in August and I'm really hoping to finally break 1:44 but I have no idea where I stand when it comes to that distance! I ran 13.1 in my own a few weeks ago in 1:49 and I wasn't "racing" so I'm hoping I'll be able to pull it off once I'm in the race atmosphere.

The marathon is a beast and I am terrified every single time too! I hope the weather is good to you in Santa Rosa and you have a great race. In any case, just relax and do the best that you can with the cards you are dealt on race day.Boston Bound Brunettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617670777384752810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822096984973552912.post-47541391888820626522014-07-03T09:21:51.246-07:002014-07-03T09:21:51.246-07:00I just did a half-year check-in and I've run 4...I just did a half-year check-in and I've run 493 miles and biked 656. Most of the year I focused on half marathon training (which was fun -- I think you would enjoy scaling down and going for that 1:45! I want to do that too!) Last month the full marathon training ramped up and my miles increased to 128. Only two more months until Santa Rosa and I'm terrified! I'm on track with the training but the full marathon distance is intimidating me (even though (because?) this will be my fourth full).
