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!!
awesome! good luck. Which city is the hilliest in the world?
You Rang?
A half marathon on a Friday? That's bizarre! Best of luck with the hilliest course in the world!

Jerusalem -- I'm sure it's not the hilliest city in the entire world, but it sure is the hilliest city I've ever been in... which terrifies me because even though I wasn't a runner the last time I was there, I know the ridiculous elevation profile is absolutely to scale. Even if I wanted to train on hills like that, I can't. We don't have hills here with a 10% grade!
I wish you well bluerun.

Jersualem? As in Israel? That's cool!
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.)
Easy run day today. Should of been intervals but the park sidewalk was to slick. 4.2 miles at 10:59 pace.
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.
Upcoming:
July 27 - San Francisco marathon
Yikes guys, I just noticed that we came in LAST this week in the game! Let's get those miles posted folks!
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!
