Coach Curly

So, while in NY I met up with an awesome flute player friend...and of course we started talking about all this running and triathlon business...and I don't know if I convinced her, or if she already wanted to, but somehow she said she wanted to start running again.

She's going to pick out a half marathon for the summer, and I'm going to set up a schedule for her, complete with B races in the Manhattan area. Of course, I'll steal heavily from other people's marathon schedules...but how else do you do it, anyway? Everybody is just modifying something that was created by someone else...

I'll probably use some Hal Higdon, but then replace some with a fair amount of cross training (because I remember how torturous it was to only run all the time, and it's a lot safer in terms of avoiding injuries).

And of course, I'll definitely get the schedule checked by people who know better than me.

But ANYWAY, I'm going to join her for the big race. It'll be a blast. I'm so excited to be able to share this thing I've been so enthusiastic about.
