So yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve posted, to which I have no excuse. I’m going to be better about that, I promise. Seriously. Why are you looking at me like that? Stop it!
I ran Bloomsday on the 3rd! I had a goal time of one hour, and finished the 12k in 1:02:30, at a pace of 8:22 per mile. Didn’t make my goal, but still shaved a few minutes off of last year’s time, so overall I was happy. Conditions were cold and overcast, which sucked for the spectators, but was perfect for the runners!
My official marathon race training has begun! I have decided on Hal Higdon’s Intermediate I training schedule, an 18 week training program with two 20 mile long runs. It’s a more mileage intensive training schedule that for my previous marathon, and I hope to finish considerably faster this time!
My next post will detail the marathon that I have decided to run.
My runs since my last post is detailed below. Not very many miles… got sick for a while, and my sister’s wedding in Boise led to only one run during the week of May 12th! My mileage will ramp considerably in the coming weeks as my marathon training schedule kicks in.
