very glad I did my 5 1/2 mile run today instead of tomorrow. Rain just started and is suppose to last all week. I don't mind runnng in the
rain really but 5 1/2 miles takes me about an hour (I'm a slowpoke). That's a long time in the rain. Although once your wet I guess it
doesn't matter!

good for you! I wish I had time for longer runs.

and that's not slow, either! 
I'm training for a 10K - 2 more weeks of that and then I'm going to start training for a 1/2 marathon. The program I'm doing only requires a
long run once a week. The rest of the runs are 3 miles (will be going up to 4 though). I feel like an hour is FOREVER for 5 1/2 miles!

that's very cool. Where did you find your training program?
www.halhigdon.com/ This guy has all kinds of training programs for all kinds of levels. I just do the novice because I'm old and
slow. I copied and pasted his schedule into an excel worksheet and added the dates to it. I just cross it off after each run. This
I copied and pasted his schedule into an excel worksheet and added the dates to it. I just cross it off after each run. This
way I don't have to THINK about what to do. I just look at the calendar of running on my fridge and out the door I go.
