Ok...so maybe I'm both. I've got the distant blogger part down, still working on becoming a distance runner!
I am proud of my races so far this year and have been sticking with my training for the Half this time around. As opposed to last year when I stopped running regularly after the State Farm run! This year I did the State Farm 10mile with a 9min average. I shaved off 6 1/2 mins from last year's Novartis 10k with an 8 1/2 min average. This makes me both excited and nervous for the Half next Sunday! I ran last year in 2:23 and am confident I can beat that, I'm just wondering what is an acceptable goal to set for myself....
Been sticking with the classes at Goodyear also. Mary's Tues morning Body Power is going to end next week as we don't have enough participants to keep it going. Think I'll email Goodyear and advocate for that Sat morning class they've mentioned. Tried Intensity Step followed by Butts & Guts last night. (Followed by a 5.5 mile run at 5am this morning!) I don't think I'll be able to move tomorrow. I won't have much chose though, because Elijah and I are registered for the Extra Mile Walk to support/raise funds for the Backpack program for LPS. After that E's off to spend time with Grandma as I get his "surprise" bday party ready. I have a feeling that may be a workout in itself!! Which means I can grant myself a small piece of the awesome cake I ordered!
Tomorrow I am going to break out of my comfort zone and join a group run. The Northeast Y has a group that gets together Mon-Sat at 5:35am for a group run. I love being out and about at that time doing my workout, but don't feel safe running alone outside. Here's my chance! Wonder how long they run for? I'd like to get in 7 or 9miles in prep for the half. Guess we'll see...

I think my friend/coworker Susan runs with that YMCA group. At least she used to and always encouraged me to join it. You'll probably be in a different running section though, seeing as how you are a running super-star.
Aren't you supposed to run less the week before the race? Tapering or something?
PS, welcome back to the blogging world!
Um, nothing sounds like fun at 5:35 in the morning. But good for you for liking early mornings and runnning.
Good luck on the race! We'll see you at the finish line.
