The Virginia Beach 1/2 marathon is only a week away. I have worked up to 7 miles. I had been following Hal Higdon’s 12 week, 1/2 marathon training plan, but injured my knee a month ago.
Reasons I injured my knee:
In general, I view pain as a challenge to find out what I’ve done wrong. Many people over 40 who start to run give it up as soon as they feel pain. I say don’t give up….find out what’s causing the pain and correct it.
Anyway, my strategy for the VA Beach event is to combine running with walking. They have local bands playing on the street at every mile marker…so I will just stop and walk for a few minutes to enjoy each band, then start running again. I hope to complete the race in 3 hours.
My running goal for the future is to get my long run to 10 miles.
