Just Do It

One of the only useful pieces of advice Charlie Sheen has indulged all of us with was the quote, “Nike’s slogan doesn’t say just try it, Just Do It.”  I think that’s a good slogan for life, I just wish it would have come from a more respectable source.

This past week I continued with my half marathon training.  With officially less than one month to go, I continued increasing both my weekly mileage and the mileage on my long distance run. 

The long run is up to 8.5 miles now, and I think I may try to jump to 10 miles next weekend.  I felt great on the run, but hit a wall at about 7 miles.  So far I haven’t been running with a water belt and energy packets, but I think I may begin next weekend and hopefully that will help me clear that 7 mile wall.  The run took me 1 hour 15 minutes, with an average pace of 9 minute miles!  I was so suprised and pleased with my time, but I think I may try and force myself to slow it down to help boost endurance. Maybe I won’t hit the wall if I run slower?
