Hello to all the new people!!

My half marathon is in exactly a week from today (yes, on a Friday).  Eeeeeek!!

Thanks!  I want to finish in under 1:59:39 (seems random and bizarre, but it's exactly half of how long my last half marathon debacle took), and that would be a walk in the park if I had chosen a normal course.  Except that I chose the hilliest city in the world, so we'll see.  I really just want to run the whole thing and finish uninjured!!

A half marathon on a Friday?  That's bizarre!  Best of luck with the hilliest course in the world!

I wish you well bluerun.

Thanks, irakanji

And yes, Jerusalem as in Jerusalem, Israel.  I love the place, but not the easiest city for running!  (The hilliest city in the world is La Paz, Bolivia, followed by San Francisco.  I feel better now.  Not.)

Hello all! SRD today, but I have 5 planned for tomorrow and then the big 20 on Sunday! Fortunately the weather looks great. I will let you all know how it goes.

Intervals went well today.  Definately felt more difficult today than last week.  I did easy pace recoveries instead of walking recoveries.  Kept my heart rate up much higher overall, as i would start my intervals at 150 heart rate instead of 120.

3.6 miles today.  0.9 mile warmup at 10:59 pace then 5 X 0.29 mile intervals at 8:10 pace with 0.31 mile recoveries at 11:05 pace.

20.8 miles for the week.

 

12 more weeks! (give or take)  I know my injury status ain't helping.  Sorry, team.  And welcome noobs!!

 

I took a DNS on a half marathon today.  Meh.

No worries - we know that you will come back when you can. Take care of yourself and get well. Bummer about the DNS.

I am officially in taper mode!
