I've completed my last extra long run during my training. That's right I did 12 miles this past Sunday and I feel great. Inside. i feel great inside. Kind of. My legs were screaming at me yesterday. I soaked for an hour in the tub with epson salt. I was suppose to do the run on Saturday but Friday I ate a yogurt that didn't sit well with me and had a stomach virus all friday and didn't think I had it in me to run on saturday. These last two long runs have been the longest I've ever run and it's always cool thinking hey I did 12 miles this morning. I was also really happy with my pace. 9:47 avg pace. That's with me taking my 20-30 sec walk breaks. I said I wasn't going to set a time for this half marathon but if I was I'd like to finish in under 2:15. But I'm not stressing time I just want to enjoy my first half marathon. Less than two weeks to go!!
In other half marathon training news:
Week 9, Pt. 2
I did a little over 4 miles on tuesday, wednesday, and thursday and then on saturday was my long run of 11 miles. I felt so great after the run but then I came home and took a nice nap!
Week 10
This was a good run week. Started out with an easy three mile run and then hit a bump in the rode when I thought I wouldn't be able to get to my long run because of my stomach virus but I came back strong!
The weeks leading up to your first half marathon? What were your thoughts?
Were you nervous, excited, scared, anxious?
