Time for the next one

I'm signing up for a half marathon. Its been about 7 years since my last one

Earlier this year, it struck me that the 10yr anniversary of my first half marathon was coming up. In July, 2015, I ran my first ever 21.1 at the Dream Runners Half Marathon Event. I decided then that I would run this year’s edition of DRHM to commemorate this milestone. But given my current training status and the fact that I haven't been running all that much,  I imagine my timing would be even slower than my very first half. Can’t have that!


So then, why not train for it? Diligently and properly like I did for my very first one. Set a realistic goal, learn from all the many training mistakes I’ve made in the past and give it my best shot?


I have 21 weeks to go and a "realistic" goal in mind which I will set in stone over the next three weeks. The next three weeks is earmarked as base training which are basically meant to set me up for the goal-based training over the ensuing 18 weeks. Depending on how these base training weeks go, I may or may not adjust this said goal. :) 


More updates coming soon...
