Back from conference in Seattle. To my credit, I did do exercise-y things while there, though I also gorged on Dungeness crab so there's that...40 more days means we need to kick butt! Since I will obviously not be able to run this entire thing at my current fitness level (though I am down 5lbs since I moved and started cooking for myself!!!), I have settled on finishing with a run/walk combo and if it's fartleks that will give me the necessary conditioning so be it. Sigh...
I'm going to try to do some longer distances as I've found an awesome trail that snakes around most of the Truckee River and is fairly flat! I'm pretty excited about that and ran 6 miles in about an hour and some really small change. Plus, it was beautiful...The fartleks will mostly be up the nasty hills around my apartment...argh. They are so HILLY--those damn hills!
No shame in the walk-run strategy. I sympathize with your dislike of hills, but humidity might be worse. Seriously.
