Thus why I haven't posted in awhile. :( My weekdays have consisted of 8 workouts in 5 days and my weekends average about 8hrs of workouts over two days, plus a little BSSC football thrown in there. Needless to say life has been rather hectic! Or just plain exhausting. At this point I begin my taper!! WAAAHOOOOO!!! & OH SH*T! It means shorter workouts & no long rides on the weekends, but it also means my training is essentially finished for the big race! 2 weeks and 2 full days before race day! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time!
NY Resolution Update:
In March I ran the White Hall 15K on the NCR trail! 3/12 races complete! It was COLD!!! Like REALLY freaking cold, below freezing when we started. And I hadn't done a long run in a few weeks, so I ran it as slow as I possibly could. I listened to my audiobook of "Life of Pi" and just tried to stay warm & comfortable. I finished in 1:40 which is about a 10:30/mile pace.
In April I have 2 races, so JUST in case I have a month where I don't race, I have one "in the pocket" so to say. On Sunday April 21st I ran the Metric Mulligan Half Marathon (8.15miles), all race day registrations were donated back to the Boston victims. I need to preface this by saying, on Saturday, I rode 50miles (in 20mph winds) & then ran 1.5miles. So I'm pretty stoked with my 1:21 time. To top it off, I ran 4 miles from the race back home, so I could get my 12mile run in. Again, another "slow & easy" race to just get the miles in. THIS weekend 4/28 I will be running the Nike Women Half Marathon in DC. I hope this will be a true "race pace" run!! We'll see!!
For Boston, We Run
If you haven't seen it yet, I created a facebook group called "For Boston, We Run".
Our purpose: Now that those responsible have been apprehended, we run in memory & honor of those affected. Our goal: One mile for every runner unable to finish this race & in honor of those who may never run again. A block or mile, it does not matter.........Just run.
That's all for now folks!
