My Next Event is...

Avenue of the Giants Half Marathon in Humboldt county California on May 3rd. This will be my first major running event since I ran the Nike Marathon last October.

I've been running up to four miles but now it's crunch time. I ran six miles with Victoria, my running partner/buddy/mentor, yesterday at where other than Campbell Park. The most active park I've ever seen! I'll get back to that later. So, six miles in one hour! I am so stoked about our time. I wonder what my time will be on the race?

My training schedule is as follows:

• 4 miles Tuesday 4/7
  
• 5 miles Thursday 4/9
  
• 8 miles Saturday 4/11
  
• 4 miles Monday 4/13
• 6 miles Wednesday 4/15
• 10 miles Friday 4/17
• 3 miles Tuesday 4/21
• 3 miles Thursday 4/23
• 4.2 miles Pat's Run Saturday 4/25*
• 2 miles Tuesday 4/28
• 13.1 miles Sunday 5/3
  

I submitted my schedule to my TNT coach and I'm awaiting his advice. Now I just need to find different places to run. Campbell Park is great but I need a little change of scenery. Plus, I'll be heading to New York soon where I hope to run in Central Park.
