1/4 Marathon

If intentions did anything, we would be ready for the half marathon in just two weeks.  However, we have not done any preparing. It is shameful. We know it will affect us.

Today, we got moving. We decided to walk to the grocery store to pick up some veggies.

• The trip: 7.65 miles roundtrip
  or about 59% of the distance of the half marathon we intend to do in two weeks.
• The time:  2 hrs. 20 min.
  or about 58% of the time allotted to finished the half marathon (4 hrs.)

Add lugging groceries, stop lights/traffic, and our faithful four-legged friend and we're cutting close, but making it within the maximum time allotted.  We have two weeks to build up our endurance to get through all 13.1 miles of the half marathon.

These next two weeks we will be forced to train every day to get ready. Our goal is to walk/run a full 13.1 miles next weekend.  We will do this...we will.  It won't be pretty, but we'll get it done.
