Weather was awesome. Temp in the 50's, no wind and lots of sun. Even got a start on my tan. :) I felt pretty good until mile 12, started hurting a little bit. Ron brought out some water and that hit the spot. I got my second wind and felt good when I finished. Woo Hoo!

Just stumbled onto your blog when I saw that you and I both did 15 miles on Sunday (and our names rhyme)!

Way to go! I felt down at mile 12 too!

What race are you training for?

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Thanks for the comment. I am training for the Fargo Marathon on May 22. It is flat, fast and close. I should be doing higher miles by now but the winter was not good for running and so I was on the treadmill for most of it. My body seems to be resisting the harder surfaces. I was really happy to finish 15 miles. I'm planning 17 this week. What race are you training for?

Now it's my turn to be slow in response.

I'm training for the Champaign 1/2 marathon (I want to run it in 1:45 or less). I did a lot of treadmill running last year, and it was a hard transition to outside. This year I ran outside as much as nature would allow, but there were a couple weeks where that wasn't possible.

Do you have a goal time for your marathon, or are you just wanting to PR?

Wow 1:45 1/2! That is awesome. Is this your first 1/2? My goal time is 4:00. That's what I need to qualify for Boston. Unfortunately my training has not gone well since about the end of Feb. I got sick. Then just when I was feeling good again I got sick again and have been dealing with that for most of March. So I am very behind on the mileage. My speed workouts are going ok. We will see. There is always next year. :)

This is only my second 1/2. I have done one marathon--and I respect the distance. It's hard to train for and I wasn't that well trained when I did mine.

Hope the training starts going better! I've hit a small hiccup in mine too and I'm really hoping that next week is MUCH better!

Good luck. Let me know how things go.
