Well, I've finally done it.
I've been working on an "About Me" page since the start of my blog, but it was quite the struggle to sum myself up in a page.
It took much longer than it should have, and I finally finished as Chloe supervised.

Enjoy here. ;)
Also, as The Shamrock Half Marathon approaches, I'm checking the Hal Higdon Half Marathon Training Guide. As this is my third half, I'm assuming I should be following the "advanced"training guide.
For my first half marathon, I was worried I couldn't even get through it. I followed our running guide to a T. For the second one, I did my own thing while checking the guide every once in a while to see where I should be.
When I checked it this time around, I realized I'm pretty ahead of schedule... again.
The below schedule from MarathonRookie.com is the one I used for my first half, and it differs a little from Hal's plan.
| Week | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | Rest | 3 | 3 | Rest | 4 | Rest | 13 |
| 2 | 3 | Rest | 4 | 3 | Rest | 5 | Rest | 15 |
| 3 | 3 | Rest | 4 | 3 | Rest | 6 | Rest | 16 |
| 4 | 3 | Rest | 5 | 3 | Rest | 8 | Rest | 19 |
| 5 | 3 | Rest | 5 | 3 | Rest | 10 | Rest | 21 |
| 6 | 4 | Rest | 5 | 4 | Rest | 11 | Rest | 24 |
| 7 | 4 | Rest | 6 | 4 | Rest | 12 | Rest | 26 |
| 8 | 4 | Rest | 5 | 4 | Rest | 9 | Rest | 22 |
| 9 | 3 | Rest | 4 | 3 | Rest | 8 | Rest | 18 |
| 10 | 3 | Rest | 3 | Walk 2 | Rest | 13.1 | Rest | 21.1 |
Whenever I train, I've been running a whole lot more than these two plans call for.
To my runner friends, how do you tend to train? Do you follow a plan, or do you plan your own routine? I want to know if I'm the only one out here over-training, and if I'm doing something wrong. Leave me a comment with your input!
