I can't believe I am in the second half of my training....seems fitting to start the week off with a half marathon. I wasn't really all that nervous about it, since I had run 15 miles last week.
Date: Sunday, 12 March 2017
Distance: 13.1 miles
Time: 1:49:21
Pace: 8:20 min.mile
The race started and finished in Woking, and I was so happy to see my family at the end! It was a flat course, and there were some spectators, but not as many as there would have been if the weather had been a bit better. It was a gray day, with a bit of rain. I was happy with my pace; I wore my watch and it said my pace was 8:25 for the entire race!!! I was pleased to come in under 1:50. After the race, we went to the local pub, Sov's where Brad is always going for drinks with his work mates. It was nice to have a visual now.

It is light out by 6 AM now which makes getting up to run much easier. My hamstrings, especially the right one, are very tight!

Distance: 7.1 miles
Time: 1:03:05
Pace:8:54 min/mile
Wow, that was a really hard run. The weather was great, but my legs are TIRED. It was really slow, but I powered through and didn't stop.
Date: Saturday, 18 March 2017
Distance: 4.8 miles
Time: 39:04
Pace: 8:07 min/mile
Overall a good run. I got a massage yesterday, and it really seemed to help stretch out my quad and my calves.
TOTAL MILES: 29 miles

Training Week 8
Date: Monday, 6 March 2017
Distance: 15 miles (!!!)
Time: 2:17:08
Pace: 9:08 min/mile
Route: To Richmond Park and then back through Kingston and Raynes Park
An absolutely perfect day for a fun! The first run with my hydration belt, which worked our perfectly. For longer runs I am going to need to find a place to refill my water bottles because I drank all of it just before I got home.
Date: Wednesday, 8 March 2017
Distance: 3 miles
Time: 26:23 minutes
Pace: 8:42 min/mile
I think my legs were still tired from Monday's run, but I do like running in the morning!
Date: Thursday, 9 March 2017
Distance: 5 miles
Time: 42:21
Pace: 8:25 min/mile
Another somewhat tough run, but I think it is because I was way too fast in the middle 2 miles. But it was a beautiful day for a run, 12 degrees and sunny! Running outside is starting to get really perfect.
Date: Friday, 10 March 2017
Distance: 3 miles
Time: 24:59
Pace: 8:23 min/mile
3 miles is like nothing, although sometimes I find the shorter runs more challenging than the long ones.
Total Miles this week: 26 miles (I have run a marathon this week!!)
I scaled back a bit after the long run, since I am running in a half marathon on Sunday. And Saturday is a rest/stretch day as well.

Training Week 7
Date: Monday, February 27 2017
Distance: 14 Miles (the longest distance I have ever run!)
Time: 2:02
Pace: 8:42 min/mile
Varying weather including REALLY hard rain and some sun. But chilly.
I did it! I ran 14 miles which is now the furthest distance I have ever run. I guess I was prepared because it wasn't as bad as I thought. I was listening to a funny podcast, which made the time pass much more quickly. I am thankful I am able to come home and take a nice hot shower and a nice long nap. My knees are a bit sore, but not too bad.
Date: Thursday, March 2 2017
Distance: 4.03 miles
Time: 34:40
Pace: 8:36 min/mile
Love early morning runs, wish I could do them all that way!
Date: Friday, March 3 2017
Distance: 7 miles
Time: 1:02:02
Pace: 8:52 min/mile
Not too bad, an awkward temperature, should have worn short sleeves under the jacket rather than long sleeves. Overall, pretty good however. Happy it was dry!
Date: Saturday, March 4, 2017
Distance: 4 miles
Time: 33:24
Pace: 8:10 min/mile
Great run! My right hamstring was a bit sore at the end...
Total Miles this week: 29 MILES!!!! Wow, that is the most miles I have ever run in one week.
