In a late night act of craziness I registered for the Buffalo Creek Half-Marathon last night. And then I remembered the Great Race is exactly one week before! So this morning I knew I had to start ramping up the old training schedule; I’ve been doing 9 miles a week which is just isn’t enough to get me ready for a 13 milers in 3 months. So Mary kindly dropped me off at the Sarver trailhead and I ran the 7 miles down to Freeport. This is the same route the half-marathon will take so it’s good practice. I was going to start from Cabot, which would have made it 9 and 3/4 miles but decided against it on the way to the drop off – best not to injure myself just yet. The run went ok, except for a disagreement between me and the water bottle holder. I posted the miles on my running log just now and I noticed I now have 100.5 miles on the Mizuna Wave Creation 7s! Between that and managing to go the whole day (so far anyway) without eating any crap, and I’m feeling pretty good.
