Me bitching - feel free to skip.

I'm still only about 75 - 80%.  I can do anything for 10 minutes, then I feel like I'm going to hork.  My lungs feel like they're getting crushed.

I'm lifting weights.  I'm running a mile or two at a time.  But I'm still not all the way back yet.

Bluh.

Mission Statement

Training for the Buffalo 2010 Half Marathon starts this week.

My goal is 1:50.

Yes, that would be 30 minutes faster than my time last year.  It's a stretch, but it's not impossible.  Even with the bad bout of bronchitis, I'm a much better runner than I was at this point last year.

And considering how little attention I paid to nutrition and strength training last time, there's definitely some room for improvement there.  Speed work will also be playing a larger role in my training this time around.

Right now, I'm in the "rebuild" stage.  I'm guessing it's going to take six weeks or so to get back to where I was before the bronchitis began.  After the rebuild comes the distance and the speed work.

I've answered the "Can I do this?" question.  Now I want to do it well.
