I signed up last weekend for the Waterloo Half-Marathon. It raises money for the St. John Ambulance. The race will be on Sunday April 25th, 2010.
I also started officially training for the half-marathon this week. I am using a training schedule I found on the Toronto Women’s Half-Marathon website:
Half-Marathon training schedule
I’m aiming for a time between 2 hours & 2 hours 15 minutes. I think it is feasible. Since my time on my 1st half was 2 hours 15 minutes & 58 seconds.
I’m still doing weights (see workout below) but I’m in my last week of that program and will be starting a new one in a week.
