Half Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

Maybe someday I'll have something noteworthy to post in this section. I have only completed three 5ks and a 5 miler; all at an average pace somewhere in the 9:00-9:30min/mile range

Painter's Half 2010 - 2:03:54

Short-Term Running Goals:

Painter's Half Marathon - would like to keep an average pace of 9:00min/mile.

Painter's Half - Went over my goal and finished in 2:03:54 :( It was my first half though. I had a great time and learned what I need to work on.

Salt Lake Half Marathon - would like to finish in under 2 hours.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Would like to complete a full marathon in the fall of 2010 and finally conquer the Herriman Hill...to be honest, there are several hills in Herriman I'd love to conquer, but that one for sure!

Personal:

I am a stay-at-home mother, married and have two young boys.

Total Distance

4.00

4.0 TM miles this afternoon, AP 9:30. Sometimes I feel like I am going so slow at this pace, but this is the pace my training schedule said to run. I am sure I will feel differently tomorrow. I'm supposed to run 5 miles at a 8:13 pace. I'm nervous I won't be able to since I took it easy last week and I'm worried my knee won't cooperate. I guess we'll see!

My knee bothered me a little bit today so I made sure I stretched for 5 minutes before and after my run. Everything I read about preventing injuries suggests cross training, strength training, and stretching. I'm not sure what my next race will be after the SL half. I don't think I'm doing Wasatch Back anymore b/c I can't find anyone to stay with my kids. Plus if I run it, I won't have any money left to run any other races the rest of the year. Maybe I'll run a couple 5Ks or a 10K instead and try to get faster. Either way, I know that I need to focus more on improving my overall strength so that I don't have any more injuries.

hmmm...sounds like you need to come to the gym for some good butt-kicking classes for strength :)

Stinky-ness that the ITB bugged again, but I hope the stretching helped.

Good luck on the run tomorrow - those tempo runs are always crazy! You'll appreciate the slow pace tomorrow :)

I'd also go with skipping Wasatch Back, it's a fun run - but not really a 'race'. Take the $ and do some fun local 10K's and maybe one 1/2 in there somewhere. A LOT better than one 24 hr run.

Yeah, that darn race is pricey!!! Come do the fun herriman 5k or 10k, that is nice and close!

I think it is great that you are calling that pace slow, you are doing awesome!!! Can not wait to hear how today went.
