Last week’s workout schedule

Tuesday – Rest

Thursday – Easy run 3.3 mi @ 9:28 pace (!!)
Friday – Rest

Last night I was convinced I wasn’t going to run, I got home from a weekend away and had a lot of cooking to do for my meals this week. But by 8PM I was done, and was feeling guilty for not working out after spending a majority of the day in the car. I threw on my running clothes, put on my headlamp and went out in the dark for a nighttime run. {check out my post about running at night safely!} I ran 4 miles in 9:36  and it felt like a comfortable pace–SCORE! My speed training just might be paying off.

I also have one month left until my goal race, the mohawk hudson river half marathon! This was my first half marathon three years ago, and I am beyond excited to finally run it again. My original goal was to run this race in 2:04 (my PR–set three years ago), but after getting injured this past spring I was convinced that it wouldn’t happen. But my current training is going pretty well, so maybe there’s still hope.

A Goal:  2:04:34 or under (9:30/mile )
B Goal: Under 2:10 (under 10:00/mile)
C Goal: Under 2:15 (under 10:20/mile)
