Rock N Roll or Gasparilla 1/2?
Hey ladies,
I haven't posted in forever but I do come back every once in a while to check it out, I don't have too much to contribute normally since i'm not pregnant (seriously..where is this water you all are drinking..I need it!).
I was just wondering if anyone was doing the Rock N Roll 1/2 in St. Pete and/or the Gasparilla 1/2 and how training was going? I signed up for the RnR and am thinking of also doing the gasparilla but I haven't signed up yet.
Re: Rock N Roll or Gasparilla 1/2?
I'm doing the Gasp 15k, and RnR 1/2.
I don't really feel like I'm "training." I started training back in August for the Women's half and since then i've just been maintaining my mileage.
I'm also doing RnR. I'm not sure which distance I'll do at Gasparilla but from what I've heard the 1/2 is the best one. Jena- have you seen the shirts for the 1/2?! They look prrreeeettttyyyyy amazing!
As far as training goes- I ran a full marathon in October and kept my mileage high up until about a month ago. I've backed off the weekly mileage a lot (still going to CrossFit 3 days/week) because I'm entering burn-out. I've been training hard since June so that I could get a good time on my second (and probably last before kids) marathon. I'm getting ready to push the training hard again though because of a 1/2 in March that StingShark and I are both running and going for a PR.
Race PRs {5K-23:55} {10K-48:54} {15K-1:24:30} {13.1-1:53:39} {26.2-4:30:43}
Is your 5k PR really 25? You need a 5k soon! I know you can get a 24, maybe 23.
Yes, i saw the 1/2 shirts... but i'm still doing the 15k ;-) I really like the distance, and there are no other 15ks.
We are definitely PR'ing at Florida Beach Half !! You are going sub 1:50, i can feeeeeel it!!
Yeah, I haven't done a 5K since the Jingle Bell in December 2010! I'm doing a 5K the day before RnR with my CF group. I need to update my 10K PR since it's 52:05 now! Bam!
Stupid 15K. I'm going to get peer pressured into it, aren't I? I don't know why I even resist! We *could* always do a challenge.... ;-) (cuz ya know, we're not doing enough races this season hah!)
I need to get a plan together.... and then actually follow it. I think I'm going to join Bradenton Runner's Club. I need a change in scenery and some extra motivation. I always run faster with other people.

AALLEN-
My first reaction to seeing you SN was" I'm glasd to see her back" Just bc you aren't pg or a mom doesn't mean anything we would love to have you back around this neck of the woods.
The board is still rather slow unless there is a MAJOR trial going on.
Sorry to butt in on the running talk but I wanted to say HI!

Hello
I'll definitely be around more.
My goal for the RnR 1/2 is 2 hrs flat and for gasparilla maybe I can get sub 2 hrs. I'm a slow runner but have been getting faster with a huge change in my diet so we'll see how it goes.
