166 days to half-marathon
Last weekend, I was in Argentan and did two good training runs on the small country roads. This is in long-term preparation for the half-marathon in early October. If I do not suffer from [more] mechanical problems in the meanwhile, my hope is to run the half-marathon in less than 1:24 as this is a hard race with up-hill segments and most often a terrible wind (and that I am turning v2 this year). A big if and a big hope!
