It's Time to Start Training and TrackingThis week marked the beginning of my Gasparilla half marathon training cycle. I'm super excited to run the Gasparilla Distance Classic FOR THE FIRST TIME! I can't believe it's taken me so long to run this race. It's an awesome event, but usually conflicts with other races and events. But now, at last, I'm running it and want to make the most of it. I'm giving myself extra training time — in hopes of really smashing this flat, fast course in February. (And, to give myself some flexibility during the holidays.) Fingers are crossed, and I've started running and tracking my progress in a new training journal. I find when I write things down I do a better job of consistent training.
