I signed up for the half-marathon in July and was doing great with training, lots of trails, hills, and had worked my way up to 10 miles on weekend runs. Then on Sept. 3 I pulled my hamstring and had to lay off running for 2 weeks, then go back slowly. Right now I'm back to 3-4 miles 4 days a week on flat surface. Hope I can still do the half-marathon. Wish me luck. Tony, Pool librarian
I have been slowly training but instead of jog/walk/run, I have been doing variety of cardio exercises such as biking, swimming, aerobics, etc. I do about 1 hour of high impact 4 times a week. My average jog is about 3 miles for 30 min. On the other hand, I did my first 8 mile jog for 90 min. along Piedmont Hills Rd from Berryessa to Calaveras. It was pretty awesome. I couldn't believe I made it. All thanks to my husband who is pretty athletic and my iPod. I finally got him to join us. I do need to slow down now. I wouldn't want to injure myself right before the race.
