Training Update
I can’t believe I’m already into week 3 of my half marathon training. So far, so good. I haven’t missed a run yet and I’ve been keeping up with my cross training on my off days (except last Saturday — but I danced my ass off at prom).
Today’s a cross-training day, so I’m going to hook up with my favorite trainer, Jillian Michaels, for some hard core cardio in my living room.
Anyway, my runs have been pretty decently paced so far. I ran outside for my first 6-mile run (in the snow) for week one and managed to keep it at 8’25ish per mile. Last week’s 7 mi run was on a treadmill and averaged 8’17/mi. So pretty decent. If I can keep my pace no more than 8’30/mi on longer runs, I think I’ll have a pretty decent time for the race considering I’ll likely step it up a notch.
Here’s my training plan for this week:
