Week 31

That's right, I've been running for 30 weeks. So far, I have run 430 miles. We have five weeks left. 132 miles left to run before I am standing on the starting line in Eugene. It is all becoming very very real.

In the next couple of weekends, Mike and I will be running two half marathons. I figure, while I am in the shape to run them, I might as well get the t-shirts. That way, in 6 months when I have totally stopped running, I can wear my half marathon t-shirts and still lead people to think that I am a running badass :) This weekend we are running the Vernonia Half Marathon. We are slated to run 14 miles, so that will work out perfectly. Next weekend we will be running the Race for the Roses half marathon. That weekend, we have to run our 20 miler. Our plan is to run the half then head out immediately after crossing the finish line and run the remaining 7. Our running friends, Carolyn and Laura, will be joining us.

After those weekends, we back off. We run 12 miles one weekend and then 8 the next. Then, we're done. We're there. All we will have left is 26.2.
