The Countdown Begins
This is getting serious, folks. The Route 66 Half-Marathon is in 6 weeks. I've been pretty lax in my training so far, but it is time to kick in into gear.
Last weekend I ran a 6-miler. If I increase one mile each weekend, that will have me running 12 miles the weekend before the race. (A half-marathon is 13.1 miles if you didn't know.) I don't think it should be a problem to increase the mileage like that, but I wish I had a couple of rest weeks built in just in case.
Just so you know I'm sticking to my workout plan, I ran three mornings this week and am planning to run 7 miles this Saturday.
Edited to Add: Now I know why more people don't have running blogs. This is probably pretty boring to most of you - it's certainly boring to me! But I love being able to click on the "Running Fridays" category and have a record of how my training is going. I'm trying to think of ways to spice up my running posts. Any requests for training advice or any other running-related posts?

I admire your 13-mile tenacity. I did very well to do 3.2 meself.

You can do it!!!
Once you get into the mix of people running, and talking and pushing each other along you will not even realize how far you have gone.
Just don't get discouraged if a skinny older man juggling passes you - like I did.
