Wife and I ran a half today. Our goal was to finish in less than two hours. Course was basically five miles out, three mile loop in a park, and then back the same five mile stretch we started with.
Started strong and felt good early on. At the halfway point I told my wife we were on pace to "destroy" our two hour goal. It wasn't quite 57 minutes yet so we were on pace for under 1:54.
Should have kept my mouth shut.
The first half was a net elevation loss. We had to make it up going back. And most of the climbing was in the last three miles.
Still made our goal though. Finished in about 1:57. Wife probably got have dropped me and beat my by a few minutes. Happy with my result but should have paced myself a little better early on.

Great run. Sounds like you are trying for under 4 hr full. I did 11 yesterday at a 9:25 pace. I'm going to have to pick it up if I want to try and hang with you at the race.

Yeah my knees were aching pretty fierce when I was done. Took two Tylenol and a couple hours later the pain is pretty much gone. The one thing that I noticed since I've been running so much is that I'm not nearly as tired after the long runs as I used to be.

Did five miles this morning at a 7:30 pace. That's a personal best.

Jesus--those are some serious runs.
Dumb aside question--how do you post MapMyRun (I use mapmyride) workouts to CSi?

Are you running in the morning? Do you eat breakfast before you go?

My PR's this year are:
1:30 half marathon 3:31 marathon (ran this fairly easy with my wife for her BQ 19:58 5k 40:20 10k
Those were all earlier in the year and I was doing quite a bit less running at the time.

What is BQ? I see people mention that a lot. Based on your previous runs it looks like you'd be able to meet your goal.

Your 10 seems fast for you 5k. Not used to the short race? You've hit all my lifetime goals, congrats. I need to step up my game and do the same.

So the marathon is this Sunday. I haven't heard from Cheesey in a while, so I'm not sure where he is at in his training. The furthest run I completed was the 18 miler a few posts up. After that I got sick for a while. I was able to continue running but not get up to the 20 mile mark that I wanted to before the race. In any case, I'm still shooting for a 4 hour or less time. I have a very good feeling about being able to complete it in that time.

That sucks. Hopefully it's nothing major and passes quickly.

Well I didn't meet my goal, but I finished running across the line with a smile on my face. Not sure if cheesey ran or not. I haven't heard or seen anything from him in a while.
