This morning, I set a PR in the Fayetteville Half-Marathon in Fayetteville Arkansas.
Finish Time: 1:27:40
Average Pace: 6:42/mile
Age Group: 2nd
Overall: 6th
Given the bitter cold and sustained wind gusts of 20mph, I was certainly pleased with the result. I accomplished an intermediate goal, and advanced one step closer to my ultimate goal of qualifying for Boston in March. My finish time qualifies me for a Corral A starting position in the Little Rock Marathon.
My dad, Mark, also ran a great race. In his first event longer than a 10K, he finished second in his age division, running just over 1:46:00. If he keeps this up, he may be looking at a Boston qualifier as well!
Enough for now...I'm heading to my Sunday School Class Christmas Party with the family for some much needed fun and relaxation.
Best,
Wesley

| 1 Mile Easy followed by 6-Mile Tempo Run at 6:40/mile on treadmill set to 1.0 incline; 1 Mile at 7:13 (MP) and 1 Mile Easy to cool down. My legs seem to have recovered pretty well following Sunday's race. A little soreness in my right knee carried over this afternoon, but I felt fine, and I actually think the smooth tempo run worked out any remaining soreness. Wesley |

| 4 Miles at 7:13 followed by 6X30-second strides (5:30) with 30 seconds rest between strides; 5 Miles total on treadmill set to 1.0 incline. I'm intentionally hitting the treadmill pretty hard this week to fully recover from Sunday's race. I am scheduled for a pretty tough speed workout either tomorrow or Friday and a nice 12 miler this weekend. Looking forward to getting back out on the streets... Wesley |

| 1 Mile Easy followed by 3 Miles at 6:00 (5K Pace) on a treadmill set to 1.0 incline; 1 Mile jog to cool down. This was probably a little too fast for a mid-week, treadmill run on the eve of a speed workout, but I was strapped for time and had been stuck in a chair all day, so I needed a couple fast miles to boost my spirits. I actually felt pretty good, tiring a little at 2.5 Miles, but finishing strong and relatively comfortable. Wesley |

| 2.5 Mile warm-up at 7:30/mile followed by 4X400m repeats at 87 seconds (5:48) and 4X800 repeats, three at 2:57 (5:54) and one at 2:45 (5:30). I jogged easy for 200m between the 400m repeats and 400m between the 800m repeats. "Cooled down" with 1 Mile at 6:50. 8 Miles total. Perfect evening, still and cool, and I pushed it pretty hard because I was enjoying myself. Looking forward to a scheduled day off tomorrow followed by a 12 miler on Sunday. Wesley |

| On what was scheduled to be a day off, I couldn't resist a very pleasant 6 Mile run with my brother at 7:42/mile on a perfect, cool day in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Nice to relax and not worry about pace for a change...and who wants to take a day off when an early, Christmas feast is on the menu for dinner? We certainly indulged. Wesley |
