Raced half marathon today.... 1/2 mile warm up... yes not a very long warm up but I was running late and unfortunately did not have much time to get loose. Once I got to the race venue.. Sasha said to try and hold 7:00 minute miles .. gave it my best and held 7:03 miles for 13.1 avg HR was 178 final time 1:32:20 ended up 8th overall for the park to park 1/2 marathon.. I am happy with the results not only because it is a PR, but more so because it was a fairly hilly (rolling) half and alot of it was on trails /gravel... well back to bumping up my mileage again and maybe another half in August... Definitley feeling I will be able to run a BQ time come October if I continue to put the miles in ... |
