Workout: Ran 4.16 miles in 39 minutes, 17 seconds; average pace, 9:26. I also did 10 minutes of abs on my new ball.
I guess it's official.
I'm running the Fort-4-Fitness half-marathon on Sept. 25. It might seem completely insane to run half-marathon No. 3 just six weeks after half-marathon No. 2 but hear me out.
Each day, I would look at the race's website and get nervous when I saw that registration was 85 percent full. I would get jealous as registrants would discuss increasing serious long runs as the race nears. I had a training schedule ready to go, just sitting on my desk. And, well, the allure of a sub-2:00 half-marathon is hard to shake.
I couldn't not do it.
I would be lying if I said if I wasn't unsure about my decision and a bit
Wish me luck!
You are not crazy at all! I think it's really smart - just enough time to really recover, learn alot from no. 2 and then like you say - rock a sub 2:00 on no. 3! You don't need luck - but ya got it from me anyway! ;)
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way about the Naha Marathon! All my friends were registering and others that ran it in the past kept saying how fun it was. I registered last night. :) So, I'm now focusing on 25K trail race in Illinois in September, Izena Triathlon in October, Naha Marathon in December, and a 60K trail run in New Zealand in March. Yikes!!
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying your blog. Keep up all your great efforts!
Thanks! And good luck on the Naha Marathon!
