Me, Ms. “I’m Not a Runner,” ran n the America’s Finest City Half Marathon on August 15, 2010. I tracked my training on my blog, because I wanted to be able to look back on this experience and remember it, long after my knees stopped aching and my hunger levels went back to normal (read: not insatiable).
My goal was to finish the race (in under 3 hours since that’s the time limit) and make it through training injury-free. I designed a training plan off Hal Higdon’s novice plan. My training plan is longer because it includes an 11-mile and a 12-mile long run.
