Training Week 9

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.

Date: Wednesday, 15 March 2017
Distance: 4 miles
Time: 33:36
Pace: 8:21 mile/min

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!

Date: Thursday, 16 March 2017
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
