NYC Half training

Me: “the half is next week”
Boyfriend: “are you ready for that?”
Me: “yes…ish”
Boyfriend: “you haven’t been running outside”
Me: “I ran a half marathon a month ago and didn’t die, I’ll be fine”
Boyfriend: “So not dying is how you measure a successful half?”
Me: “yes”

It’s been freezing and cold and dark lately (although it’s been warm and sunny lately) either way I haven’t been able to get in some good runs. Instead I have been going class crazy this month.

So as you can see…this is how I do NYC Half training with tons of classes and with the help of Classpass! (Referral link on the right hand side!). I definitely need to buckle down and get myself together for the Brooklyn Half but after the pain of marathon training in the fall…any constant running sounds….painful.

We’ll see how this goes on Sunday. I’m excited. This will be my first half that I will have done TWICE. I wonder if it will be better or worse (just as good?) as last year. I’ve never done a repeat of a race which is weird to say.

Despite being crazy busy with work, working out, and all the other jobs I have…some good things have managed to pop-up…
