My first half marathon recap!

Check!

One item crossed off the bucket list!

I ran the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon over the weekend, my very first half marathon, and it was fantastic.

A friend of Joel's from high school, along with his adorable wife, persuaded us to sign up for this race back in February. It's a lottery, and we signed up as a team of 4, so we were either all in or all not. It runs in conjunction with Grandma's Marathon, and is a HUGE race.

Training Schedule

After getting in, I set to work putting together a training schedule that worked for us. It was a hybrid of a few different ones I found online, and included running 3x/wk for 12 weeks.

We decided to keep it loose.
So each week, we had to find time to complete our 3 runs for the week, in no particular order, and on no particular day.

Because that's the way we roll.

If we had set it up in any strict fashion, we would have surely screwed it all up. :-)
