I will be in Sarasota, Florida to run this in 12 weeks!! Yikes!!

I was googling “Half Marathon” and found this training schedule.  I like it because it is simple and flexible.

Although this is technically my 6th half marathon, it feels like the first.

I am actually more nervous because I know more.  I was very naive regarding my first.  I didn’t even have a Garmin during the training.

don’t I look calm?

Now I have experienced injuries (3 to be exact) and know how quickly things can go wrong.

I have to go slow and be conservative but yet instinctively I want to do well. (Well for me, that is…)

So to keep things in perspective, I will try to remember this:

Running is a gift.  Not everyone can.  I will remember the times I could not.  I wil not take any step I take for granted.

Happy Running! Any other motivating thoughts for this returning runner?
