Registration

Registered for the National Half Marathon this morning. The race will take place on 20 March 2010 in Washington, DC.

Various websites recommend a 12-week training regimen for a half marathon, which, for this race, would commence in late December. My intention is to follow the CrossFit main site WOD from now until late December. Once I enter the 12-week window, I intend to run three times per week: a track day; a middle-distance day; and a long-run day on the weekend. In addition, I'll continue following CrossFit, but will modify as necessary to prevent over training.

This blog will document my training for the race. Hope is to demonstrate that an individual can sufficiently prepare for a long-distance race by cross-training, as opposed to a strict running program. Goal, as of now, is to complete the half marathon in under 01.30.

Comments -- and encouragements -- are welcome. Also, if anyone is interested in joining in on this program, please let me know.
