Oklahoma City Half Marathon Training #1

On Sunday night, as I was watching football and eating brats, an e-mail came in.  WC had sent my half marathon training plan and it started tomorrow!  Fuck me.  So I went to bed and got ready to run in the morning.

Day 1

2 miles piece of cake.  I fucked up and walked for 5 minutes and only wound up doing 1.75 miles.  D'OH!  Observed that there are a shit ton of dogs in my area.  One particularly dense area there were like 150000 cars crammed into a one block area with traffic coming from both sides.  I took the grass and fell on my fucking ass.  Got back up and finished her off.  Damn need to cut my toenails.

Day 2


Today's run was 3 miles.  I prepared for this with a little help from Brie who told me to walk out 2 and walk back 2 then start from where you want to.  Thanks honey!  Super helpful.  Less dog noise on this route which is definitely a plus.  I feel like I am just plodding along but it turns out I am staying pretty consistent.  Still need to cut my toenails.  Chafing from my huge cycling thighs rubbing together for the first time, what a horrible feeling.  Feeling the running in my glutes but not dying in any other areas.  4 more days to go this week.  Greeted by my 4 year old when I got home.  Snuggled for a bit while we talked about my run gear.
