Wow! There are only 6 more months until the 2014 Walt Disney World Half
Marathon! Yikes! It’s time to crank up the training!
We’ve been
working more towards our 1/2 marathon goal.
Last weekend, Eliot and I took a few walks on the carriage paths in
Acadia National Park with my Dad.
We kept a steady quick paced walk for the 3 miles of trail. We also went on a hike around Jordan
Pond with my best friend Katie. It
had a few dips, hills and areas to climb over rocks, so it was good for a
little cross training.

However,
I’m starting to feel like the race is creeping up on me. I decided that I need to work harder to
make my knee stronger, so this week I’ve started to go running while Eliot is
at work. I’m happy with my
progress. I’m working on
alternating between fast paced walking and jogging to build up my
endurance. Yesterday, I cut about
a minute off of my average time, so that’s an improvement! And today I jogged even more, and I cut
my average pace by another whole minute!!!

I've still got a long way to go, but I'm determined to finish the race!
After all, "if you can dream it, you can do it," right?
