DL half marathon training: 3 weeks to go!

August 15, 2015 by Becky 5 Comments

week 15

Wow, so I’m only three weeks away from the half marathon and less than that til my trip.  I have been looking forward to it for so long, but now it almost feels like it’s sneaking up on me!  I still have so much to do before we leave.  I haven’t even finished my costume for the race!  Hopefully I can get some things done this afternoon.

week 15 mon

Monday I was able to go for a run in the evening, when it was a little cooler.  It was a decent run and I felt pretty good about it.

Some days God decides that he doesn’t want you to go for a run – and on those days, he gives you a charley horse.  On Wednesday I woke up early around 6am with a bad muscle cramp/spasm in my left calf.  I used to get them all the time but ever since I really started drinking a lot of water they’ve been rare.  When I do get them they are bad though, and there was no way I was running for that day or the next one.  Oh well, gotta take care of the body!

week 15 fri

While there was still a little soreness on Friday it wasn’t too bad so I got out there for 4 miles.  It was hot, I was kinda slow, but I got it done!  It’s funny though, because I almost feel lately like when I run I don’t have the endurance I used to.  Like, short runs used to feel relatively easy and now they’re usually a challenge.  I don’t know what’s up with that because I’ve been sticking with my training plan like I have before.  Hopefully it gets better soon as I continue to train – even after this race I will be preparing for the Glass Slipper Challenge next February!

    Good luck with the rest of your training. I ran the inaugural Disney Wine and Dine several years ago. I will begin training for RnR Arizona half and RnR New Orleans full soon.
