I've already got my runner's high back and can't wait to get out and rip through another 3 mile run tonight. My goal is to break 22:40 (that's not a good time, I know, but I'm out of shape). I'm looking forward to getting my times back down to 18 minutes/3 miles.
I'm trying to find a good track around my house so I can also run some 400's and 800's. Those'll be crucial for me building up my endurance and working on my breathing. I didn't do enough of those kinds of runs when I was training in the summer for the San Diego half.
I'm going to enlist the help of my spicy meat-a-ball expert, Dave; old roommate Jake (they've been running more of these lately and in really good times, too) and a couple other friends in LA who I'll be running the race with to give me tips as well as motivation.
Mr. Spicy Meat-a-Ball might be joining me in the OC Half. Which one do you think he is (if you already know, say which one with a clever zinger about his Italian heritage)?
