I’m seriously contemplating doing the Hal Higdon Advanced Half Marathon training Program for this year’s Lincoln Half-Marathon. This year marks my 3rd consecutive Lincoln Half, and then 2 weeks later I’m running the Fargo Half with Brooke. The program looks intensive and busy, but I did the intermediate last year and I got faster, so I know that doing speed and hill work while adding another day of running would just mean that I would turn into an even better runner. I like challenging myself physically. And now that I’ve run a Full Marathon, the half seems like no big deal! π
Monday marks 18 weeks until the Lincoln Half. With that time frame I’m kicking myself that I didn’t sign up for the Full. I legitimately like training for races. I must be insane.
I’m guessing I will do it. Its a 12 week program like all the others, so stay tuned for a decision on that one.
In other news, I’m thisclose to my 900 miles for the year goal.Β I ran 3 last night, and then drug my butt out of bed this morning for 7 more. I have 2 more to go until I hit that magic number!! It seems so easy now. Just 2 miles. Depending on how I feel, I might run them tonight after work, or in the morning. I’m now trying to hit 920 for the year. But 900 is still the goal, everything else is just gravy. π
Have a great day friends!
