Daddy's Running Again! Half Marathon Mania - Week 2 complete

Hello, I'm back.  I have really been focusing on other things than my amateur athletic exploits this year, including focusing more on work and family, and accordingly I kind of put the training on the back burner, without letting it go entirely.  After almost a year's "sabbatical" mental and physical, which followed about six years of hard training and racing, I've now decided to strap on the shoes and get back in shape.  Earlier this year (January 2016) I ran the Miami Half Marathon for fun, and afterwards, I signed up in the post-race blitz, when the race is substantially discounted.  Thus, two weeks ago, I began an 11 week training program for the 2017 Miami Half Marathon, because I intend to train for it this year, and race it.  Yesterday, I completed the second week.

Week one was pretty much about shaking the rust off:

M - OFF
T - 3 mi
W - 4 mi
Th - 3 mi
Fr. - Off
Sat - 5 mi
Sun - 2 mi
Total:  17 miles.

I completed the whole thing as planned, all five runs, just switched Saturday and Sunday, because I preferred to run long on Saturday, out of habit.

Week 2 included the Turkey Day 10K race in Tropical Park.  So I took Wednesday's three miler off and combined it with Thursday's four miler, for a total of 7.3 mi (1 mi warmup, 6.2 mi race).

M - OFF
T - 3 mi
W- OFF
Th - 10K race, plus 1 mi warmup - Total 7.3 miles
F - OFF
Sat - 2 mi
Sun - 5 mi
Total - 17.3 miles

Week 3 begins today, Monday, 11/28/16, with an off day, which is nice.
