So far I have run 3 5K races and have two more over the next 2 weekends. I am also training for my first Half Marathon, which will be the Space Coast Half Marathon on November 25th. When I decided to enter it I had never run farther than 4 miles at a time and only had 7 weeks until the race!
I have now extended my longest run to be 11 Miles and hope to get a 12 mile run in before the race.
My biggest challenge are my knees. I hurt my left knee back in high school and running tends to hurt if I'm not wearing a knee brace. On my long runs I have been feeling some pain so at times I need to cut my runs short. I plan on overcoming this and running a great race though! Once I run this Half Marathon I have 3 more that I have entered between January and March, so I'll have chances to improve.
