This past Saturday was one of the longest distances we will do in training for the 1/2 marathon...8-9 miles. It was grueling. With all of our training over 6 miles, it seems as though you hit a wall at the 6 mile point and then work through it. Around 8 miles, there is a even harder wall. My legs started to lock up, ankles got tight, etc. I could see the finish line and kept going. I ran between 3-4 miles of the 8-9 miles and Amy ran the majority. 4 weeks from today we will have accomplished our goal. I can't believe it is almost here.
I was talking to my dad this weekend about how hard it is for me to run long distances. I have never been good at it. I told him that I have three goals: Finish the Race, Don't be the last one to finish & Start/Finish the race running.

My name is Kevin and my wife, Amy, and I have decided to sign up for the Rock 'n Roll 1/2 Marathon on September 6, 2009. We are not runners, but we have always dreamed of completing a race like this. This year we are also raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Please consider donating to CFF and following our blog as we document our journey towards 13.1.
