As some of my followers are aware, I have been saying I wanted a half marathon to do. Luckily for me, I found the perfect one. Right here in my town no less!
Starts bright and early which means I should finish around 9am. My target pace is to run <2hrs 10min. I think with some more specific training I could actually do under 2 hours but considering I haven't ran a half marathon since mid 2015, I wanted to make sure I'm being realistic about my abilities.
Look, they even wanted to make sure they thanked me! How nice. Especially since the race was $100 plus a $9.50 "processing fee." Over the years those processing fees have just got more and more expensive.
Its all good though. Looks like I'll get some decent swag to include a nice dry fit long sleeve shirt & the medals look really nice. =) Not to mention the support along the course such as aid stations look to be plentiful.
I was regularly running 7-8 milers back as recent as February. So tomorrow, I plan to do 8-9 miles but at a faster clip. Interestingly enough, the course is over some areas I regularly run so that's good. Familiar stomping grounds.
Alright. I'll check in again tomorrow and let you guys know how the long run went. Thanks for all the support!!
