One little note on half marathon training…I was sick the first week of September and I missed my long run and my strength training sessions as a result.  I’ve been trying to just stick with the plan, modifying as necessary but with the hot weather it’s been tricky because I don’t feel comfortable taking Owen out for longer runs during the week.  Then we had a hurricane, and now I’m sick again!  I’ve modified my plan and have decided that if I don’t feel ready for the half I signed up for in November, I’ll pick one that’s a little later instead.  No sense putting pressure on myself to do something if I don’t feel ready!  But anyway, that’s why you see a lack of runs!
