Micheal averaged just 2 miles per day for the 6 weeks leading up to the Half-Marathon. He stayed injury free, lost 3 pounds (he didn't diet at all...) and actually ran the whole way for the half marathon. While he didn't run as fast as he would have liked, he did complete it - even running all the hills - and felt great after! Way to go Micheal!
