3 Weeks Until Race Day!

Yesterday, Melinda and I received all of our race info (starting position, number, etc.) for the Half Marathon. It was timely because we had gone to the Y Monday night and we both walked and neither of us felt like we were behind at all after our relapse. That made us feel pretty good, and we are more and more excited about the big day!

We are both still able to maintain 15 minute miles or better, so we have all confidence that we will finish in under four hours. The other participants at Thomas Nelson are all abuzz and everyone is comparing workouts, times, and overall progress. It has been a lot of fun preparing with a group. I'm not sure it would be as fulfilling going at it alone.

Of course the best part is how we look and feel! I forgot to weigh myself at the Y Monday, but I have had several people comment that I look like I've lost weight. And we both feel so much better! I'm sure a lot of that is healthier eating, but the exercise alone has been great. Here's hoping we have developed some good habits that will carry us past race day.

We'll keep you posted as we round the training corner and, of course, will have the full story and pictures of the big day on the 26th!
