So now I have run twice in one week. I forced myself to try George's walk /run strategy every half mile. I was faster than Monday but I think I would have been faster anyway. More research is necessary.

No races within a 2-hours drive on July 19th. Maybe we will have to organize our own. I am considering running in the Seattle half marathon in November to give me something to focus on.

George said I didn't need to go running tonight because it is raining but he also suggested that we start running together on the week-end long runs. He just ran the half-marathon yesterday. For me to work up to anything that he might consider a long run, I needed to start tonight. 3 miles is about my limit. George also reminded me that with this latest race under his belt so to speak, he has run in twice as many half marathons as I have. Hmmm.

I have 5 weeks to turn back into a runner and find a race. I am hoping that the race I find is a nice little 10k. I have told myself that if I do this, then I can join the Y at the end of daylight-saving-time to keep up my training during the dark times.
