The Sioux game last night was pretty fun despite the fact that the game ended in a 1-1 tie in over time. I woke this morning with a sore throat that killed with each cough. But, I sucked it up and headed to the gym this afternoon for my 8 miler. Uf-dah.
There's not much to post about the 8-miler. I had to do it on the thrillmill because, yes, once again, it is snowing here in North Dakota and it was only 18 degress outside. I took it slow, running 3 minutes/walking 1 minute ... for a very long time. My legs became a little tired around the 6 mile marker, but I finished...
And, now? I have officially signed up for the Fargo Half Marathon! I told myself that the 8-miler would be the deciding factor as to whether or not I felt or thought I would be able to do the half. So, it's official!
ORN: 8 miles
1:38:17
12:17 min/mile
Avg HR: 164
Max HR: 177
Peace, y'all!

great job getting the 8 miles done and congrats on the half decision you'll be glad you did it! :)
I once sat next to two runners who raved about the Fargo marathon. Can't recall just what made them big fans, but I hope it is incorporated into the half.
Congrats on finishing the 8-miler! And on taking the plunge and officially signing up for the Fargo half marathon. You'll do great on race day.

Nice job getting in the 8 miles. I had to do mine on the treadmill too. Sucked!! :-)
Congrats on signing up for the HM. I know you can do it.
Good going!! I just signed up for out fancy schmancy 20k. It's my first time doing it. I should probably go run 7 too. Thanks for the inspiration!
nice job on the 8 miler. And, congrats on signing up for the half.
That's a lot to be proud of. 8 miles on the treadmill. I can't go past 5 on that thing. Way to mentally be able to do that... and congrats on signing up! I was the same way - wanted to get to 8 miles and then think I'd be ready to sign up and keep adding mileage.
Whoooop! Yay for registering! You will totally rock it!
You are going to totally rock it!!
Congrats on signing up. I kept saying I was going to do the Fargo full one of these days...but not this year. Good job on the 8.
