The first week of half marathon training is complete! 2 miles, 3 miles, and 4 miles. It was an eventful week of running. I've had to run fairly late in the evenings since that's the only time my schedule has allowed, and since my alarm clock isn't enough motivation to wake me. My 3 mile run was at dusk, and I was running on a dirt road in my neighborhood. I jumped across a stick, and the stick coiled up. It was a garter snake. Yuck, but got my adrenalin going! I had to stop to take a picture (of course). A couple of blocks after that incident I took out the worlds largest spider web and set free all the bugs that were trapped in it. They kindly took up residence in my shirt and proceeded to bite, sting, or whatever. Love living in the country. Really. I'm sure I provided some comic distraction to anyone that might have driven by or watched me through the windows as I tried to wrestle the sticky web off me, and then tried to dig out the bugs. I looked like Phoebe from "Friends" running.
Tomorrow begins week 2 - 2 miles, 3 miles, and long run of 5 miles!
