Slight disturbance

Today we completed our 2nd training session for the half marathon. During the run I ended up texting with a friend so the map my run program on my phone lost about 5-6 minutes worth of data. We walked the exact same path today as the first day so I know we probably kept up around the same pace. It was hot, and a little difficult to get out the door this morning since we stayed up so late but we did it and got it out of the way. Hooray for us! We missed Thursday's workout due to scheduling conflict but we're going to try our hardest to stay on track. Tomorrow we will do our first long walk. Afterwards I will post the weekly stats.

The Myers are training for a half marathon...follow our progress!

Today was the first day of training for the PF Chang's half marathon. We tried last year and let the trainer talk us into trying to run it. Very quickly we became discouraged at the daunting task and we dropped out. This year we decided to do it at our pace (Walking). We will be walking 13-24 miles each week. I will be updating on Sunday's after our long walk. I was able to track all of our stats using iMapMyRun app on the iPhone and also MapMyRun.com.
