So, it’s pay day, and I celebrated by signing up for the Old Port Half Marathon!

It coincides with this week on the marathon training schedule:

That seems to fit in quite well. Granted, 15 miles is 2 miles more than 13 miles, but I think the best way to approach that is with a one-mile warmup and a one-mile cool down. I’ll still run the 7 miles before the race, but maybe on Friday instead of Saturday.

(The first time I checked the calendar, I thought it was 17 miles! It’s like the numbers change every time I look. At least I was delightfully surprised to be mistaken.)

Training stepped up the week before last, and down this week. I’m feeling a little more tired, but still whole and healthy and not too sore.
