The Big Switch

I don't know for sure, but I don't think anyone's going to care that I've switched half marathons. Originally scheduled to run in San Diego on May 31st, but now I changed to the Seattle RnR half marathon in June.

I have a couple of reasons for switching, one being financial. While I am commited to raising the same amount - $3800 - I have another 3-4 weeks to do so. My biggest reason, however, is that most of the gang on my team is running Seattle. And I want to run with the team! :)

Oh, and this gives me an additional month to train. The Seattle course is much hillier (!) than the San Diego course, so I'll need that extra month!

Today ran the hilly 3-mile course around my neighborhood. Ran with my friendly neighbor Susan. Man, the difference between that and running on the treadmill yesterday! With the wind and the hills, it's like a totally different run - for me, anyway!

  1. When you're on downhill, lean into it. You will get all kinds of free speed, rather than trying to "hold yourself back" on the downs.
