    Hope you weren't surprised when you saw the course...

     

     

    How are you feeling about your half coming up? I'm not sure about mine. Sub 1:30 sounds feasible, but a half is still a long race, so I'm afraid I might not manage it well.

     

    I only ran it because it is a race in the tiny town where my mom lives in the middle of nowhere Smile

     

    I have been feeling more confident recently, not necessarily that I can run sub-1:30 but that I am in better shape than when I ran my PR. What time that feeling translates to, I don't know.  But I am sure you will get it!

      Not by a whole lot

       

      2 miles at 6:41 pace (it was actually 2.02 because my track doesn't have a 2 mile marker so it was 7 laps plus 100 meters )

      2 min easy

      1 mile at 6:36

      1.5 min easy
      2 miles at 6:39

      2 min easy

      1 mile at 6:29

       

      11 miles total

       

      I nailed it.

         Done. 

         

        And in other news, feet stink.

          I left work an hour early to get my 7 in while I still had life in my pathetic, wretched ass body. That turned out to be a great call as the skies opened up shortly after I finished.

           

          I finished the run roughly about an hour before yoga class so I decided to go and try it while my muscles was still warm, something I've never done. Yep, nope, it still sucked

              It was only 800s so no big deal. The wind was steady though and came in with a vengeance towards the end. I was gassed for that last rep.

                yeah the rain and 25-40mph wind gusts was enough for me to use the indoor track
