Half Marathon Training Week 1 and 2

This is week one of my Half Marathon Training. I’ll be taking you on my training over the next several months leading up to the race and the race it self.

First run of the week and started out with cold nippy temp, I love the cold and made sure I had enough layers on. Today’s time with the distance: 6.53 min for 0.5 mile. 13.51 min for 1 mile. 21.02 min for 1.5 miles. 28.18 min for 2 miles. 30 min for 2.11 miles.

The second run of the week didn’t really go as plan of how I wanted my 25 minute run to go and I wanted to get it done before the weather turned south. Towards end the run I came across a situation, which I don’t want to go into details, that ended my run short by several minutes. Today’s time with the distance: 7:19 min for 0.5 mile. 14.22 min for 1 mile. 21.15 minute for 1.41 mile.

Week 2: this morning I didn’t really want to get up and get going for the day and for a run but I did and I got the run in even though I needed to walk at parts because of the slip and slides patches.
