AWing my run last night
I haven't posted much in a while - okay, like a year or two, but now that I'm back to running regularly and have some races on the horizion, I'll be around more!
I am training for the Trail Half Marathon on April 28 in Pickney, MI - I'm pretty pumped.
This was supposed to be my "biggest" week of training, but I have been on spring break from school,so running has been when my husband is home and able to watch the kids, so I missed a run earlier this week.
I decided to head out for 4- 5 last night, but the loop that I thought was only 5, ended up being 6. I totally kicked butt and held just under an 8:30 pace for it! It felt great! Most of my runs have been in the 8:45-9:30 range lately.
That run definitely helped me feel ready for 10 on Saturday, and have hope that I'll make it through the half in a few weeks.
If this race goes well - and by well I mean, I finish without embarrassing myself - then I'm hoping to sign up for the full marathon that they have up there in September (run Woodstock), so we'll see. I have the summer off to devote to training, so that'll help.
Re: AWing my run last night
Can I just tell you how jealous I am that you get to run the trail half on Poto? It's one of my most favorite places to run and one of my favorite races. I just don't think a trail like that is safe for someone 32 weeks pregnant.
Have fun and good luck!!
