Thunder Road Half Marathon

 

We’ve made it to race day!  I can’t believe I’ll be running 13 miles this morning.  We’ve been in a 12 week training schedule.  I can’t say that I’ve made every run because I have NOT! But I have made every long run and I’m pretty excited to have accomplished this!  I’ve also added in cross training at Ultimate Crossfit.  I’ve really enjoyed these workouts.  They are HARD but rewarding.  I can feel my muscles getting stronger and my recovery time getting quicker.  Here’s the workout schedule I did – modified from Hal Higdon’s plan.
