DL Half Marathon training: 14 weeks to go!

According to my countdown, I leave for Disneyland in 86 days!  It’s exciting that it’s getting so close!  I still have to work on getting my Esmeralda costume together.  Week 5 in Galloway’s training program, and I had the longest run I’ve had to do since probably the Princess Half Marathon:  6.5 miles.

My first run this week I had to do on the treadmill because it was raining for about 3 days straight.  I went after work and I think I ate a late lunch because I wasn’t feeling great for the 30 minute run, but I got it done.

Wednesday I did another half hour run and was finally feeling like my old self!  Keeping the pace under 11 min/mile and feeling pretty good about it.

On Friday I tackled the 6.5 mile run.  I started feeling a little nauseous about halfway through, so I definitely have to experiment with what I eat beforehand.  But I got it done!  Nowhere near my pace from the Hershey 10k, but I’m pretty convinced that was some sort of miracle, especially since I ran it with pneumonia.  The fates smiled on me that day so I could get a good proof of time and corral for the DL half!
