Just wanted to report that I complete my first half marathon yesterday and say "Thanks" to those of you who gave me advice during my training.
My goals were to finish in under 2 hours without walking. I met both of my goals and finished in 1 hour 56 minutes. I placed 20th out of 189 in the 30-34 age group. The weather was beautiful and the experience was great. I may not run any more 1/2's this fall, but will probably do some 5 and 10K's. I will try for another 1/2 next spring.
I attribute a lot of my success to having a very strong fitness base thanks to Cathe. Over the past 8 weeks I have really cut back on my Cathe workouts to focus on running, but I am ready to atleast get some strength and interval workouts back in the mix.
Thanks again,
Tina

...I did one too yesterday but with alot less runners and the weather was cold and rainy but I really enjoyed the course. I will agree that Cathe does help you build a strong base....
