So I'm training for a half marathon right now - the Helvatia Half, also known as the "Hilly Half". I ran it almost 3 years ago - before Sammy was born - all by myself (with the exception of all the other runners that ran it...my friends all opted for the "Flat Half"). However, this year most of my friends are going to run it, and I am very excited! My only setback has been that my left knee has been giving me some trouble, but I'm hoping with the rest (meaning swimming instead of running) I'm giving it I'll be okay. If anyone has any knee tips, feel free to chime in!
It's funny because I used to think that getting up before 7:30 a.m. was really early. Now my only time to myself is before 7 a.m.! How times have changed - or, more appropriately - how I have changed! Now I swim at 5:30 a.m. and run at 6 a.m. (not the same day, of course). And, I should add, am exhausted most days...
This is really boring. I need to go to bed so that I can get up and go swimming. Goodnight!
