Getting the training in and am keeping "hopefully optimistic" for the Scotia 1/2 in less than 3 weeks from now. I have to say if I am being honest with myself my fitness level isn't where I want it to be right now. I was hoping that I would be doing much longer tempo runs and have the shorter ones feel effortless, and well I'm not there just yet. On Thursday last week I did a 10k inside my run which was at a 6:57 min/mile pace and I spent until today recovering and today, and I still didn't feel "zippy". I'm nervous about my goal. It's defn going to require the wind at my back and a WHOLE LOT OF Race Day Magic cause I need to be running a 6:50 min/mile pace for 13.1! I play this game with myself over Burrard Street Bridge on my last mile of almost every run. If I have my garmin on I give myself a goal of holding say a 7:25 min/mile until the middle of the bridge and then have a 1/2 mile c/d down. If I don't have it on I just run as fast as I can until the middle of the bridge. It's silly, but I feel like it's making me stronger. That bridge is almost at the end of the Scotia 1/2:) Hopefull that will be my only "slow" mile.
Ran into this
"momma to be" who looked as though she could run circles around my sorry A$$ today as I ran 3 sorry miles at "race pace" insde my 8 miles down at the beach and it was such a pretty day to be out running or anything outside:)
Cheers!
