Running to the Boston Marathon

This time next week….

it will all be over, the Miami Half Marathon that is! the start is 6:15 AM so a l little after 8AM EDT next sunday I expect to be crossing the finish line. It would have been great to be running the full marathon but there was not enough training time due to that little injury back in october. 

There are just 2 more hard training runs left, today’s 9 miler, on the treadmill since we had 5-6 inches of snow this weekend here in New York, then Wednesday’s intervals, then just some easy, i did say EASY runs, leading up to Sunday.

Then just finalizing the race plan, not going to have the same lack of strategy from a few weeks ago! This is the best I have felt going into pre-race week than I have felt in quite a while, which means I have to be bold on the Goal Time for Miami; here it is:

1:51:00 - 8:28 pace

this will take 2:30 off my current PR. My Garmin’s virtual partner will be set so I know exactly where I am against the plan.

time for 9 more miles….

    I’m excited about hitting the pool in the morning before work, less than 4 weeks to go until my first triathlon. Time to go all in on training!
