We went to my parent's house in Gatesville this weekend. I decided to run to chruch since it was about the distance I needed to run today. The run was supposed to be 15 but I ended up running 16.7 as you can see. My goal was to run at around 150 avg. bpm since I think I can maintain this over a long run. Everything was good except for the last couple of miles where I was getting a little excited...I thought I was going to be late for chruch. (I made it in time) I also ran out of water about mile 12 so I think my HR rose a little after that because I was getting dehydrated. The route had an overall elevation rise of 270 feet with mostly long rolling hills.
Note to Self: If I can maintain this pace in the OK Marathon, I believe I will be within the Boston qualifying time. (Also, I will continue to hope for favorable weather conditions.)
Next week I will increase my milage with the same gameplan and see if I can go 20 with similar results. I do not think 20 will be a problem. If I continue to be successful with this strategy, I will increase the speed in 2 or 3 weeks.\
