Teresa, I meant to ask you in my earlier post...do you use the Galloway method (run/walk/run)? Just so you know...it's what I use.
Well, I was of the mindset, "No walking, EVER," but since my achilles tendonitis, I'm trying to be a little more cautious. Since my training was interrupted, I don't think it's realistic for me to run my HM non-stop, so I'm thinking about adding some walking breaks. That's one thing I'm going to ask him about at the clinic. I'm wondering how to figure out what run/walk ratio I should use. When I look at his formulas online, my pace is so slow that I would be walking a lot more than I want to! I may try a 14/1 ratio this week and see how it goes. What do you use? Does it vary depending on race distance?

"Today I broke my record for most consecutive days lived!"
I usually like to do my last long run two weeks prior to race day. I actually have a half marathon on 10/12 also. This is what I plan on doing... 9/13 = 11 to 12 miles 9/21 = 8 to 9 miles 9/28 = 12 to 13 miles 10/5 = 8 to 9 miles 10/12 = RACE 13.1 miles!!! Good luck with your training and your race!!!
Happy Anniversary Cheffy and not to sound korny or anyhting, but you've come a long way baby!. I'm sure you'll do fine in your HM, you certainly have the right attitude. Larry

Cheffy, I just had my first "runniversary" Larry, I'm not a fan of any gummy candy, so for now it's Sport Beans for me too. A local runner was hit by a car on the road we all do our long runs on.
