The Half Before Jamaica

I have this crazy idea. My intention is to train for a half-marathon over the next 11 weeks. My goal is to run in the St. Louis Track Club Half Marathon on November 7th, 2010 and complete it in less than two hours.


I have no real "training plan" to follow. I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing: run three days a week - increasing my distance each week , and strength train three days a week. My strategy is going to be to just "gut it out."

As my brilliant reward, two days later, on November 9th, I hop a plane to Jamaica.

Over the next 11 weeks I plan to document the highs, the lows, and the in-betweens.

Here goes nothin'.
