My weekend running fitness challenge.

I stumble across, via blog rolls, many very good blogs.  One I read is So Long Fat Ass (here) and I am not sure if it’s the title of his blog or his ability to intertwine Star Wars and Fitness (my attempt coming shortly) that is so catchy but I like it all the same.

Brandon has asked readers to post a fitness challenge for the Easter weekend and report on the results.  Since I have a 1/2 marathon in less than two weeks I am going to make mine mileage centered.  I have been running for a while and don’t recommend new runners doing high mileage runs the weekend before an event – just a disclaimer.

My goal is simple.  16 miles in 3 days, broken down 9, 4, and 3.  The challenging part is I am traveling to see my in laws, who can cook, and my father-in-law loves beer; as do I.  They also live in the hill country and I hate hill running. So it should be interesting.  I will report back.  Thanks for the challenge Brandon!
