20KM

This weekend marked the end of the Half Marathon training. As I had missed the last couple of classes I felt that there was no way that I could miss out on this walk. It was going to be the ultimate test for me to see if I had over estimated my ability to compete in the up coming Half Marathon in May.

The weekend started off on rough footing. Spent most of Friday in the hospital with my father. It did not look good there for awhile but he seems to have rebounded again. DD came for the weekend with little man. She was sick with a bad cold and needed some TLC. Saturday took care of DD as best I could and went to visit Dad. Spent most of Saturday night wrestling with whether I should go to the walk or not. Got up on Sunday and DD convinced me she would be alright, between her and DH to manage baby.

It took close to 3 hours including stops at lights and a bathroom break. It turned out that I was the pace leader for the entire walk. Looks like I'm good to go for the Half Marathon with just 1.5 KM to add. This week I will sign up for the next Marathon Training session beginning on February 16th and ending just in time for the real Marathon. Its a relief to know I can do it and at a good pace.
