Wow, it's been almost 3 months since a new blog post, I've really been slacking. But rest assured, I am back, hopefully on at least a weekly basis, to give you, the running and Disney public, a nugget of truth here and there. My blog posts for the next thirteen weeks will probably mostly focus on half marathon training, because I have decided to run the Evansville Half Marathon on October 11, 2009 ( http://www.evansvillehalfmarathon.org/ ). This will be my second half marathon, I ran the Indianapolis half about the same time last year, and loved it. Training starts next Tuesday, I'm using the Hal Higdon novice schedule. My wife is also walking this race with about six of her friends she recruited, maybe I can try to get her to fire up a blog to track her progress as well. Anyway, a few things that will be different this time around is that my Garmin is fully functional, so no more driving routes, and I plan to do a lot more streching, cross training, and weight training as well. I'm also going to try and watch what I eat, and cut out the regular soda and beer (not totally cut out the beer, but severely cut back on it at any rate). I would also like to finish the race in under two hours. One more thing, I will also be using twitter (nickphillips97), facebook (nick phillips), and Buckeyeoutdoors.com to update and track my progress, so feel free to follow me on those sites as well. I'll try to be back here Sunday night to recap a 5 K I am running Sunday afternoon.
