3.84 miles in 34:45. the encourageing thing is I felt like I was running on empty but still put up a good time(for me this year anyways) on my longest run of the year. Swam 800 meters this morning beofre work. Last hard day. Gonna take it easy for the rest of the week. Maybe a bike ride tomorrow and a short easy run Wed.

I'm running a half marathon trail run on July 10th down here in Columbia SC

I would love to concour a half. I've got to see if my feet will let me work up to a 10k first.

I've never ran a half marathon. I've done quite a few 12 mile road marches in under 3 hours. To do that you have to run a bit(at least most people).

The furthest I've ran is 10 miles. I'm pretty confident I can do the half marathon with no major issues

If you have gone 10 miles you will be fine. When are you going to start your taper?

Some friends recently moved to China. We were planning to attempt a visit next year. My friends run 1/2 marathons and emailed us about this race. Now I really want to go.

Have your friends been to the wall yet? Did you notice that everyone is walking?

would trade for winter right now and never think twice about it. My dog seconds that.

I don't think you live too far away from me, the humidity in West TN is ridiculous to run in. I starting sweating while I stretch.

Im a slow runner. The walking part evens the playing field.

no way I would run going up and down stairs

I don't think they are running, plus its more like rock climbing.

 

[tri_vol]

I wouldn't either but I have long legs. I should be able to take two-three steps at a time.

I'm a pretty goo poke from you. I live in NWA in the Ozark mountains. My weather is probably a fair bit milder than yours.

I am never taking off from running again. It sucks to get back into it.
