Half Marathon

16967

Well --- I DID IT!!! I completed my first Half Marathon --- it was great!! A very hilly course and very warm weather --- I walked a bit --- took a lot of water breaks --- so it was not a fast finish. 2:26:15 --- but I was very pleased that I ran at the end --- looked good at the Finish Line --- and felt great afterward. I was so pumped that I have actually acheived the distance. Don't know yet what's next --- but thinking --- Really thinking about a full marathon in the fall.

Very humid night --- ran with the Group and with Tina separately --- Did the distance but no speed and lots of walk breaks. I hope next week is better. One week to go until the Half Marathon.

Bike to Work day --- it was so COOL!! It rained a bit on my way home Friday afternoon....but it was the coolest thing riding with a group to work and riding back home. I may try to do it every Friday this summer --- would be a huge savings on the car mileage and gas. Plus, it was fun and good exercise.

Bike To Work Day

16967

Today was Bike to Work Day --- and I did it!! It was fun and a beautiful cool morning for a ride. We ended up with 10 people who rode together down from Stuyvesant plaza to the Empire State Plaza -- then I rode to my office. Nice group and a good ride. It's been a good week --- ran on Sunday, Monday, long run Wednesday, 3.5 mile race Thursday night and bike to work on Friday!!! Lots of activities that I love to do.

Run 02:36 pm

Way cool --- took the afternoon off (comp time) and went for a LONG run. I was carrying water --- sloshing a lot --- stopped at Target in Latham and bought a fanny pack. Will be good for water, running, biking --- and my 'stuff'. I feel great today after covering close to 13 miles yesterday! Very COOL!

If the split times are correct -- had my best 5K yet! Very cool --- speed work is apparently important. It was a fun race and not a big crowd. Maybe it will help my GHI run next week. Again we had a nice group show up for the race...from the "Crossings" group.

The final average pace is wrong -- I forgot to stop the GPS tracking on my phone. Great race and I think I had a PR! I think the announcer said 28:21. COOL!
