time to train

Who's up for a small road trip to Leavenworth, WA? Every year this Bavarian town in the mountains hosts a sweet Octoberfest, w/ lots of good beer, lederhosen and sausages. Part of the festivities is a half marathon and marathon. This year K8 and I are going to continue an old tradition and run the half, and then have a beer and brat afterwards (just what every runner wants after a long run). We would love some company on the road. The race is on Oct. 3. All the info is at the website: http://www.leavenworthmarathon.com/

If you're interested in joining us let me know, and we can do some training runs together. For us, our official training starts this Monday, July 27. There are lots of good training plans online, depending on your goals. The one we are using is below. See you on the road?
