Half marathon training

Yesterday I signed up for the Zooma Annapolis Half Marathon which takes place on Sunday, May 31st.  This will be by far the longest race I have ever run, considering my longest to date was 8 km (5 miles).  And this week I started an official training program from the Runner's World website, though I haven't looked at the Zooma training programs yet, so I may make a few modifications after reading through them and seeing how the RW program goes.

So far it hasn't been too bad, since the first week is just three 2-mile runs at a fairly easy pace, which has been my typical exercise routine anyway.  I've decided to add my weekly schedule to the blog to (1) help remind me and (2) keep me publicly accountable, since I'll be training on my own before I get back to the States.  But I know several other women who have signed up, so I'm sure they will also help me stay on track (pun intended).

Edit: The race is the weekend after Memorial Day.
