I did not do a very good job at getting my runs in this week. Monday and Tuesday were really busy at work. Wednesday I headed to Indiana for a trip with my dad. On Thursday I ran 4K in 40mins on the treadmill at the Best Western in Lapeer Michigan. It was a slow run, as my legs were not happy to have been off them for 3 days.
On Saturday I ran 5.29K in 42mins. On Sunday I ran 13.79K in 1hour and 53mins with the running group. It is officially one week until our goal race of the Springbank 1/2 Marathon.

13.81K Run
This morning I ran 13.81K in 1hour and 59mins with the running group. It was a nice cool morning. Hopefully it is nice and cool next Sunday for the Springbank 1/2 Marathon. This afternoon we went shopping for a new running hat for myself as my old one is really really smelly. I bought a Nike Daybreak Running Cap for Mountain Equipment Coop,

21.43K Port Stanley Run
This morning I ran 21.43K to Port Stanley in 2hours and 54mins with the running group. I was not feeling very strong during my run, therefore it was much slower then I had hoped. It was pretty warm out which did not help with my speed. Hopefully it cools down by Sept 9th for the Springbank 1/2 Marathon.
Here is my schedule for next week:

Springbank 1/2 Marathon!
Today I ran my first 1/2 Marathon. I ran the Springbank 1/2 Marathon in 3 hours, 6 minutes and 10 seconds! I am pretty happy with that result considering I did not have an ideal training week leading up to the race, due to a number of reason. I had no issues with my foot today just the regular aches and pains that come from running that distance.
