Today’s run was some serious mind over matter. It was humid, hilly, rainy and the drivers who passed me seemed intent on not slowing down through the puddles. Still I did a half marathon distance. 13.1 miles. 11 weeks to go

Today was tough. It’s been a big mileage week and I didn’t sleep too well. Dragged myself out of bed to run 15 mile at 6.30, humid, hilly and hard going, but every step was one closer to my
