Today was supposed to be 8 miles but my sister was not feeling well and needed to rest. And I missed a run doing other things. We just got back from vacation on Friday night and quite honestly, I didn't mind taking a day off. Although, as usual, I sort of regret not running now that its the end of the day. Oh well. Back at CrossFit tomorrow. I'll just have to work harder.
So, I think I may change our training plan to something like this:
Aug 4th 8 miles
Aug 11th 8 miles
Aug 18th 9 miles
Aug 25th 10 miles
Sept 1st 8 miles
Sept 8th 12 miles
Sept 15th 6 miles
Sept 21st Race day!
With the option to make adjustments as we need them, of course. I'm not worried. We will likely only miss one more Sunday together. I'll be out of town on the 18th. I'll have to figure out a run while I"m traveling. But, I think I can manage that. :-)

Training - so far so good
We are on track with our half marathon training! Ok, it's only been two weeks but still. That's important. Got in 7 miles last Sunday. The plan calls for 5 miles this weekend. We'll be running on Saturday. I leave for vacation on Sunday. (Yay!) Our next race is the Heart and Sole 10K in Boulder on August 25th.
CrossFit is going well. We have an app now to track our workouts. This week I added pre-app workouts from my calendar. Wow! I really am getting stronger! :-)

Rest Day
My sister is officially registered for the Prairie Dog Half Marathon. It was a birthday gift from our brother. So, it's on!
This weekend we took a rest day. Her granddaughter's first birthday was today so the celebrations were going on. No running for us this morning. It was probably a good thing though because my hip was unhappy for some reason. Squats were uncomfortable for sure. Weird. It's such a fundamental thing to do and I felt so strong during that 200 squat WOD. Maybe it was the 6 mile run the Sunday after that did me in. Oh well. It's much better today after taking an extra day off.
Here is our tentative training schedule (based on the Arvada Running Club's plan):
July 14th 7 miles
July 21st 5 miles
July 28th 8 miles
Aug 4th 9 miles
Aug 11th 10 miles
Aug 18th 11 miles
Aug 25th 12 miles
Sept 1st 8 miles
Sept 8th 14 miles
Sept 15th 6 miles
Sept 21st Race day!
We'll adjust as we go.
