Hey again.
Whoa, two posts in one day? Crazy mama, look out! Kiddos are napping like such good boys, and I realized something awesome, so I had to share.
So, I wanted to see what my pace was for my run this morning. It was an easy, conversational pace - not quite long-run slow, but not near tempo-hell. I ran for 25 minutes exactly and covered 2.73 miles.
Put it into my favorite pace calculator, and presto change-o...
9:09 miles. That's cool.
Wait a minute, isn't that right around what I need to get my coveted sub 2:00 half marathon?
So I plug that number in.....
Ha! That brings me to a 1:59:57 finish.... doesn't get much closer than that!
I've just kind of thrown my sub 2 half goal out the window for this season because of the injury and stuff....
And of course, I couldn't have kept that up for 13 miles this morning, but I have nine weeks until my next half, and 12 until the one after that, and 14 until the last half of my season....

And assuming I can really start training in a few weeks... seems possibly doable for one of those races, right? right? Maybe?
I think it might be a sign from the running gods... Or, maybe it's just a funny coincidence that will set me up for a too-fast start and a crash-and-burn finish at an upcoming race...
Either way, makes for a funny story! :)

I'll be MIA til Sunday guys, hope you have a super awesome weekend!
Great pace!!
ReplyDeleteJealous :) my plan is to get speed coaching over the winter so I can set a blistering 9:00 pace in my Spring halfs :)
ReplyDeleteI am jealous too... one day my pace will be awesome like yours! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I myself am going the other way and getting even slower. ARGH...maybe it is the buffalo wings combined with the hellish heat?
ReplyDeleteGood for you keep it up!!
