Grinding

Sometimes keeping consistent with my daily workouts feels like a total grind. Sticking with it despite the desire to sleep in, take a break or slack off is key.

My half marathon is coming up in three months so by the end of this month I will be on a training schedule that will give me a little more structure and focus. I'm planning on following Hal Higdon's second tier half marathon training plan in hopes of not only finishing, but beating my PR by eight minutes. I do struggle with a few nagging knee issues, so I'll have to customize the plan to accommodate my plan to not run back to back days in order to avoid knee pain at all cost. Obviously, I'll be substituting cross training workouts for some of the run days that I'll need to miss.
