Covered Bridges Half Training Week 1-3/21-3/27

Made it outside this week! I do have the occasional cough, but it so nice not to be sick.  This June I will be running the Covered Bridges Half Marathon in Vermont.  The Berlin Marathon is now six months away (what?!) so this race will be a nice way to assess my overall fitness as marathon training picks up.   Image: Covered Bridges Half Marathon  Monday 3/21 - 5 miles | 12:43 min/mile My usual downtown route at an average 12:43 min/mile…
