JenJones, how'd the 8K go? I'm training for a half in May, too (Tinker Bell)...but it'll be my first one, so any time I get is a PR, lol!
Fairest, sounds absolutely lovely! I really need to try to get out early. I have great intentions of running later in the day, then before I know it, the day is gone and no run.
As far as my training goes, it was 2 weeks past when I was supposed to do it according to my training plan, but...I DID 11.5 MILES on Saturday!!! My longest run to date. Took 2 hours and 50 minutes, but at least I know that I should be able to do the half marathon in under 3:30.
But, my poor knees...oh, my knees. I was doing great up to 10 miles, then I started hurting. I should have just walked the last mile, but I ran a little. I do 30 sec run/30 sec walk intervals and switched to 30/60 for the last couple of miles. Saturday night I was hurting. DH and I went to a performance at a Jazz Festival competition for high school and college groups (amazing!) and I was sitting for a long time. Felt like my knees kept getting "stuck." Hurt less on Sunday and Monday, and today almost nothing. So, I don't feel like I injured anything, just not used to that much abuse.
