First Half Marathon in the Works

So on October third I will be running the Smuttynose Half Marathon in NH. I'll be running with a group of friends and I am excited and nervous. We did our 7 mile run today which was good, yet painful. It was very hot today and I'm still feeling it, more from the heat than from the run. At least it isn't humid, I'd probably be passed out. I still have a lingering headache and am very excited to go to bed tonight. It was good though. We've started using Jeff Galloway's run/walk technique. I'm not the type of runner who can just step out, run three miles straight and feel good. The run walk system helped tremendously today. I felt better at the end of today's 7 than one mile into our six mile run two weeks ago.

So to summarize. Half marathon ahead! Run+walk=happy me.
