I ran alone this morning. I have been going back and forth on whether or not I am going to run a half coming up this saturday. I have had a cold so that has made running a bit harder. I have still been putting in the miles but normal pace has felt a lot harder than "normal".
Conclusion.... I am going to run the half and still go for it. I would like to run in the 1:30's. I will be happy with 1:39:59 :)
8:36, 8:35, 8:03, 7:35
Miles felt like normal pace except last one. I was pushing it and it felt like it. | |

With Jackie. We haven't had our normal talking time over the holidays and today was speedwork so we still didn't get our talking time.
2x1600 6:48, 6:37
I am going off of memory as far as the splits go. I didn't have my watch but jackie told me our times and those should be them.
Need to to fill in the rest of my entries for december. I have been a blogging slacker. I want to get my total for 2011. | |

Not really sure where to put miles so I just put them all in Threshold.
I had my hesitations about running this race during the 2 weeks leading up to it. I had gotten a cold and running my normal paces were more difficult. Jackie said something to me that made me realize I wanted to run the race and give it what I had. She said "This is why we get up so early in the morning". So I decided she was right and no matter what I wanted to race.
My theme for this race was NO EXCUSES!.....I was going into it with a goal (1:39:59) and no matter what I was going to have fun. I usually run races and give into my acceptable time, the time that will be good enough. I don't usually just go for it. This race I decided I was not going to run conservative I was going to go for it.
Things I told myself during the race.... "If you are comfortable you are not running fast enough." and "Hang on to this pace for just one more mile." and "You are stonger than you think." and "No regrets". Each of my kids also gave me a silly band to wear... so I kept looking at them and that kept me smiling.
I feel like this race was a breakthrough for me of sorts with the thought that.... There are almost always reasons why we "could have" gone faster, some are in our control and some are not.The one thing we control is the effort we put into training and what we do with what we are dealt on race day. PACE (Positive Attitude Changes Everything)
It was so fun to run the race with Jackie and Ana. There are several turn around points and since I was slightly in front for most of the race it was fun to still be able to see were they were. Jackie caught me at the last quarter mile and we gutted it out to end. We were laughing and running as hard as we could to the finish. I am looking forward to seeing the pictures:). She beat me by one second... can you believe it... one second!!! She deserves it!
Looking forward to a re-match :)

With Jackie and Ana. It rained the entire time. My 4 yr old was not happy to get soaked when he ran up and hugged me when I got home. We talked about sinking cruise ships and a grown man who reverts back to an 18 month old when he is home. His girlfriend changes his diapers. WEIRDOS!

3 miles up skyline and 3 back down. Pure torcher. Skyline is a small mountain near our home. I would have rather run a marathon. Even passed a couple guys on mountain bikes while they were pedaling for dear life.
