P.E.I. or bust

The Vally Harvest Half Marathon may turn out to be the P.E.I. Half Marathon afterall. After speaking with my father, he too would rather run in P.E.I. this year, but, we're waiting to hear from my sisters about which venue works best for them, from a scheduling perspective.

Either way, the training starts Monday. I ordered John Bingham's "Marathoning for Mortals" online just a couple of days ago, and today it arrived in my mailbox. Wow, that was fast. After leafing through it, I think I'll be reading it more for entertainment than for technical advice. The training program outlined in the book is a 16-week program, targeted more at beginniners. I'm not saying that I'm an advanced runner by any means, however, I do have a good training core from the Tely 10 training that I completed just over two weeks ago. The other problem with the book's training plan is simply that I don't have 16 weeks, I have 8 from this Monday, 9 if we run in P.E.I. I do, however, enjoy reading John's work, whether it be his books or his monthly column in 'Runner's World', so I look forward to another humourous read with examples that I know I will be able to relate to my own experiences.

No activity today, resting up for Monday.
